Entry in Askville

Chris Parratt, who died last year when he fell while climbing the 3,010ft high mountain Tryfan. Friends and family of a man who fell to his death while climbing in Snowdonia have raised hundreds of pounds for charity. Members of the Chris Parratt Foundation enjoyed a summer garden party in Farnham to raise money for Alton-based children’s charity Over The Wall. The foundation was set up in memory of Chris Parratt, who died last year when he fell while climbing the 3,010ft high mountain Tryfan. The garden party featured live music from Musicology, while Sainsbury’s at Watchmoor Park in Camberley donated the food and a raffle prize. St George’s College in Weybridge also helped by providing equipment. The event was organised by Chris’s mother Gill Parratt and his sister Suzi Maxwell, trustees of the Chris Parratt Foundation. It raised more than £600 towards funding a 40ft climbing wall for a new residential site in the Midlands that will provide camps throughout the year for children and young people affected by long-term serious illnesses. The wall is to be named after Chris, who was 32 when he died. Mrs Parratt said: “My son loved outdoor sports, including snowboarding, kite surfing and mountain biking. “He was a very special man who loved the outdoors and had endless amounts of energy and a real passion and zest for life. “We’ve committed to raising money towards the charity Over The Wall as it helps the UK’s most seriously ill children to enjoy fun, friendship and fulfilment at residential camps across the UK. It’s something Chris would be proud to be associated with.” Chris, from Fleet, was descending the North Ridge of Tryfan, in the Ogwen Valley, when he slipped and fell on June 16 last year. He grew up in Fleet and attended Court Moor School, where in his last year he was named ‘Man of the Mountain’ by his teachers and friends during a field trip to Embrum in the French Alps. Chris went on to study at The Sixth Form College, Farnborough, where he designed a car engine that could simulate problems for use in a teaching environment. This earned him a nomination for the National Awards for Young Engineers. Chris subsequently went to Aston University in Birmingham, where he earned a masters degree in mechanical engineering. The Chris Parratt Foundation has also donated £6,000 to Over The Wall to sponsor six children to go to camps in Dorset and Perth this year, where Gill, Suzi and two friends, Nicky Fowler and Denise Cook, took part as volunteers for a week to help look after the children. The Ogwen Valley Mountain Rescue Organisation has also benefited from the foundation. Money raised and donated so far exceeds £5,500.
