| Zurbriggen | Route Climbed: West face from Plateau Rosa Date Climbed: Aug 14, 2003 | |
| Did the climb as preparation for Matterhorn. Because of the very hot 2003 season the crevasses were very open, and the snowbridges very delicate. The final ridge to the summit is quite airy. The view from the summit is great! | |

| hansw | From Pollux to the Sella hut Date Climbed: May 25, 2000 | |
| The long snow flank up Castor became even longer having accended Pollux first. No view was offered at the summit so we headed almost directly down to the Sella hut. A long day. (July 25, 2000). | |

| Beautiful climb, fantastic views. The gusty winds on the summit ridge made for some interesting and exciting moments of balance, but well worth the day out there. Wonderful views of the Monte Rosa massif. | ||

| Artoirius | Route Climbed: WNW route from Rif. Guide Valle d'Ayas Date Climbed: July 22, 2005 | |
| We started rather late (9:00 am) in the morning from Rif. Guide Valle d'Ayas (3420m) After 1 hour we reached the Zwillingsjoch at 3850m. From there on we needed another 1,5 hours to reach the summit. The route was a little bit altered to avoid a big Bergschrund. It was a perfect day and the ridge was beautiful. Very nice mountain and magnificient view on Lyskamm, and the other Monte Rosa summits. | |
