Castor's peak is at an elevation of , and it lies between Breithorn and Monte Rosa. It is separated from Pollux by a pass at , named ''Passo di Verra'' in Italian and ''Zwillingsjoch'' in German. Ascents are usually made from the alpine hut ''Capanna Quintino Sella'' on the Italian side, by means of the Felikjoch and the long and narrow southeast ridge. From the Swiss side, ascents start from Klein Matterhorn and go by way of the Italian Mezzalama glacier and the mountain's west flank. The first ascent was made on August 23, 1861. Castor and Pollux are also a pair of summits in Yellowstone National Park in Wyoming, USA. Located in the Absaroka Range, Castor is 3,308 m, 65 m lower than its twin. == Image gallery == Image:Castor_und_Pollux.jpg|Castor (left) and Pollux (right) above the Gorner Glacier Image:Castore per la cresta sudorientale.JPG|Climbing along the summit ridge 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Castor (mountain)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
