Fitzroy via the Affanasieff Route. The most "all in" I have ever felt on any route, ever. With a good friend, psyched out of our minds, with a windless bivy on top to cap it all off.
That and Lembert Dome...

Torre Egger...because Patagonia was still wild and TE was strikingly beautiful and still a virgin...hard to beat that!
Plus...she only succumbed after a long and difficult courtship.

Every peak I've climbed has been amazing in its own way.
Conness is an incredible place, really memorable.

Hard to say... The best peaks often leave you on the summit with the dread of a gnarly descent. But if I had to choose....it was a multi-day traverse of this peak with my brother.

Warbonnet in the Sawtooth Mtns. of Idaho. Remote wild setting. Great rock. Tiny vertiginous summit.

The south side of Yosemite Valley has a lot of great peaks with distinct summits. The three Cathedral Rocks are some of my favorites, although I haven't actually been to the summit of Middle. Leaning Tower and Sentinel Rock are another couple great high points with amazing views and great climbing to get there. The hanging valley above Bridalveil Falls is actually one of my favorite pieces of geography anywhere.
Half Dome would rate much higher with me if it wasn't so popular.
Warbonnet in the cirque (WY) is I think one of the most aesthetic peaks to look at from the ground, although I've never climbed on it.

Britton Hill, Florida...at 345 ft. the highest naturally occurring place in Florida.
Standing on the summit it's nothing short of awe inspiring to know that a couple hundred million Americans are higher than you.

Hey, donini, I've climbed that one too! In 1976.
If you stand upon the table, you get a little higher.

Winter ascent of Glyder Fawr in Snowdonia, in whiteout conditions almost from tent to summit, dead reckoning all they way. Utterly pointless except for the satisfaction.
Years later I saw a beautiful calendar picture of the distinctive summit rock formations, and was astounded by the views that we never had.
