| telemarkdude | Fun Route  Date Climbed: Jul 4, 1991 | |
| Really liked this route. We skied in, with great snow conditions, to Pollux's base. Snow was nice and firm going up the snow gully. Rock was clean and fairly solid going up. Enough variation on this short climb to keep it interesting. | |

| Great climb, got quite the tangle going with impatient parties trying to cross paths though. | |

| gimpilator | 4 Peaks Of Monte Rosa Date Climbed: Jul 24, 2012 | |
| We came from Klein Matterhorn and Breithorn the day before. Pollux was my favorite peak of the trip because I enjoyed the route. After Pollux we also did Castor, and Ludwigshoehe the next day before descending the Gorner Glacier to the Monte Rosa Hut. At this point I had to descend all the way to Visp to get surgery for a strange illness and we were not able to climb Dufourspitze as we had planned. | |

| IvanBraunDK | Perfect summit, followed by white out Date Climbed: Jul 20, 2011 | |
| Climbed it from the Ayas hut, the day started crystal clear, but weather got worse during the day. After descent and on our way back to the hut did we experience white out, I couldn't even see my own boots. | |

| We climbed it with beautifull weather from the Ayas hut. We climbed the normal route from the sadle Felikjoch. Afterwards we did also do Castor and went to the Quentino Sella hut. Easy and beautifull route. | |

| Climbed with two friends from Belgium who were visiting me here in Switzerland. Good easy climb. Had I known it would be this easy I might've solo'd it before. | |

| il.rocciatore | Route Climbed: Traverse Date Climbed: august 2011 | |
| Climbed the SW Ridge starting from bivouac Rossi e Volante. First 2 fixed ropes come in handy, but the last one is definitely not necessary and spoils some good rock climbing...better provide some save spits to make secure free climbing possible! Descent over SE Ridge to Zwillingsjoch and on for traverse of the Castor. | |

| Fun climb with good sections of scrambling/climbing secured with fixed ropes. Good weather, climbed together with Castor, loved it! | |

| Had a lot of snowfall the previous night, but the day was good, just the second party to summit that day. All nice except the bottleneck rope-section, can get dangerous/stressful. | |

| Climbed solo from Klein Matterhorn. Quite many crevasses en route. The way back to Klein Matterhorn should not be underestimated as it goes relentlessly uphill. Nice climb and magnificent views around! | |

| andre hangaard | Camping close to Pollux Date Climbed: Jul 21, 2009 | |
| On Jul. 20th I put up my tent close to Klein Matterhorn and spent a night up there ar 3.800m. During night I got cought in a thunderstorm but at 03.00 it was a clear sky. Summited Pollux solo at around 07.50 with lots of clouds and wind on the summitridge. While back down on the glacier I got cought in a temporary white-out but thanks to my GPS and a small window in the fog I could orientate myself back on track and found my way back to my safe Marmot tent! | |
