Pollux (4092m) is one of the 82 peaks above 4000 meters in the Alps (UIAA-list). Pollux is one of the twins , the other one is its slightly higher neighbor Castor and together they form the illustrious duo from the Greek mythology: Castor and Pollux. The reason is clear when you look at the peaks from the Zermatt (or Swiss) side of the mountain: Castor and Pollux appear near identical to one another. This is the clear reason both peaks are often referred to as the ‘’Zwillinge’’, which translates from German as ‘twins’. Pollux was first climbed by Jules Jacot from Geneva with guides Josef-Marie Perren and Peter Taugwalder on the first of August in 1864. (reference)
