| Took the cable car to the Klein Matterhorn before the noon and walked over the glacier to the start of the route. Glad there were not many other climbers on the route at the time since the falling stone really would have formed a serious problem. After the scrambling through the couloir the route appeared to be a nice snow walk to the top. | |

| We ( Tim and I) started after a stay overnight at the bivacco Giorgio Rossi-Cesare Volante at 3750 m with the Castor(4228m)westflank and started at about 0900 hr at the SW-ridge of Pollux.Just below the statue the rope is replaced by an iron chain and could be a little problem in winterconditions .Very nice summit because we were totaly alone on Castor and Pollux . | |

| Climbed the SW Ridge in about 7 hours round-trip from the Klein Matterhorn station. A little congestion at the fixed chains, but what a great route! | |

| We climbed the Pollux at Juli 2000 on winter (!) conditions. A suisse mountain guide with skis at his backpack climed behind us, he was going down the Pollux West face with skis .... crazy conditions ! | |

| There was alot of snow on the peak the day I went up and the famous chain at the rock section were almost completly burried. I Found this section not very difficult since the exposure is not great but I could see it giving trouble to inexprianced climbers. The path on the top was tricky since I was the first climber that day I had to break the trail all the way as I was alone I was acting very carfully because I though there was a cornice danger. Once on the peak and looking back I could see there was no danger but better safe than sorry I allways say. Fortunetly the party that followed me up was guided and the guide just ignored my meanderings and took the correct path along the ridge. | |

| This was my first 4.000 meter in the Alps. Not that difficult. For me it was because of the exposed rocks. So I stopped the group twice. I said I will retourn alone. After some dicussion - "don't act like a danish gote" - we all climbed fast and easy to the summit. On the way down I met two americans on the way up with their suisse guide. One of them would like to turn around, but was stopped. "I am a prisoner, he cried to us. | |
