New Years on Mt Clark (4W)
Dec 31-Jan 3
Come enjoy the Yosemite high country in a different season. A tricky class-4 climb in summer\, Mt Clark will be a real alpine challenge in winter. The long western approach up the Illilouette drainage should also make for a pleasant ski tour.
Hike from Valley up Muir Trail\, don skis and head up Illilouette drainage to camp
Climb SE Arete (Class 3-4\, rope\, axe\, crampons)
Possible climb of Starr-King on the way out\, conditions permitting
