Its nearest higher peak is Sweat Spire (6847 ft) on Mount Johnson, {{convert|0.26|mi|km|abbr=on }} to the southwest.[1] It is the second highest peak in The Needles range, which is a subrange of the Olympic Mountains, and seventh highest in the Olympic Mountains.[4] The climbing routes on Mt. Clark start at Class 3 scrambling and range up to Class 5.5 via the central South Face.[2] Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into tributaries of the Dungeness River. HistoryThe first ascent of the mountain was made on August 21, 1940 by George R. Martin and Elvin Johnson who dubbed the peak Mt. Belvedere.[5] The mountain was officially named in 1965 to honor Irving M. Clark (1882-1960), a Seattle conservationist and leader in the establishment of Olympic National Park.[5] ClimateBased on the Köppen climate classification, Mount Clark is located in the marine west coast climate zone of western North America.[6] Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel northeast toward the Olympic Mountains. As fronts approach, they are forced upward by the peaks of the Olympic Range, causing them to drop their moisture in the form of rain or snowfall (Orographic lift). As a result, the Olympics experience high precipitation, especially during the winter months. During winter months, weather is usually cloudy, but, due to high pressure systems over the Pacific Ocean that intensify during summer months, there is often little or no cloud cover during the summer. In terms of favorable weather, the best months for climbing are June through September. See also
