Being asked to pick your favorite photo is kind of like being asked which of children is your favorite. Or what is your favorite piece of music. Or your favorite food. The honest answer is always going to be "It depends..."
But in the spirit of the game, I'd go with this one, both for what it is just in itself, and for the memories of the day that it marked the end of.

My daughters and my last climb on a 93 road trip to Idaho, Devils Tower and the Needles.
The weather was perfect the whole trip, not always the case when dealing with school schedules.
The approach to the beginning of the climb was is steep and high enough I roped the girls up for the approach.
We got to the base of the climb where most rope up. We found two parties getting ready sort of mostly they were shooting the sh#t.
One A-hole said under his breath but plenty loud enough for my daughter to hear, oh sh#t girls!
Well if he was trying to intimidate us it did the opposite. As we were roped up climbing shoes on I said well girls lets show these potato farmers how Cali girls climb and off we went.
When I climbed with my daughters together I used dbl 8s so they can climb at the same time and with an ACT or device that takes two ropes I can belay them at the same time climbing at different speeds.
We quickly put two pitches between us before the other guys started climbing.
I had done the climb twice before, once in 83 and the day before had I soloed the climb to re-familiarize myself with the climb and to gauge how long it would take us.
It would be a step up from the usual 1-3 pitch climbs we did.
We added another pitch between us and they never got any closer. We were well down the decent when the thunder boomers rolled in stranding one party till the rock dried enough to climb.
It was one of those days and climbs we will always remember with a smile.
For me it is right up there with the 8 to 10’ waterfall we ran in kayaks a few years later.

Best shot, best photo? Never happen. I've got 1,000's of climbing pictures and each one is emblemmatic of a certain day, a certain climb, a certain group of friends, a special time. Photos are not simple images; they are time machines that transport us back in space and mind and spirit and soul to a place where the world was right, the universe was in order, we knew we were loved, and just drawing a breath with your face turned to the dawning sun was an act of gratitude and worship and joy and self-forgiveness.
Here's one that brings back so many memories of a great day of bouldering. Lunch break in Cap Rock parking lot during an epic 6 hour sesh. Tarbuster photo. Name the usual suspcts! Jtree Masters Reunion, Spring 2007. Wasn't that just, like, last week?

One of my favs for now cuz I screwed it up two years ago and had to wait till this summer before I was back and had another chance to line it up.
A very helpful app "the photographer's ephemeris" made it a hell of a lot easier to plan. All serious outdoor photographers should check it out.

that is Howser Tower in the Bugs, from the west, looking down Horse Thief creek I think... others here know better. Mike Church is coming up to the west ridge proper on Pigeon Spire, it is one of the spectacular "easy" routes in No. America...
the year is 1995.... the weather was spectacular (for a week, but a whole week) then it shut down and we bailed to the Tetons...

@FortMental No, its a fake. I will admit it. I achieved the look in photoshop. Tho when I shot this I was planning on turning it into a tilt shift anyways.
Those toy lenses you speak of are pretty cool. Yet I have never jumped to pick one up. I am at point tho where I could justify purchasing a real tilt shift lens. They work amazingly for product stuff.

@SRBphoto,
I've heard about that technique. Sounds very ingenuitive. I wonder what the difference would be these days between a jelly shift, photoshop shift and a real tilt shift? Could be a cool little series if someone had the time and money. Or already possessed a t/s lens. Those suckas aint cheap.

Largo, that's one of the nicest pictures I've seen of El Cap.
Really different and beautiful. I love the sense of a shadow
across the midline of the wall, which tells us about the sky
and the clouds, though we can't see them.... lots to look at in
this fine shot.

The picture of Captain Fairview is one of my favorites so far. I love the light glancing off the rock and emphasizing the texture. It's evocative of good times and temporarily transports me out of the rainy North West.

Some real purdy ones here.
+1 for BVBs comment. So hard to pick one!
Right now I'm thinking of it this way. On my deathbed, if I'm senile and cling to one memory that warms my heard, what would it be?
But if I had to say what is the best "yer gunna die" picture, it might be this:
And just plain climbing would be this right now:
And it would be impossible to ignore the climbing trips where weather won and we were happy and fine with that:
I pretty much suck at following instructions.
And I guess these are all just best shots from my own perspective, and not likely to be interesting for a general audience.

The other day we were climbing near Squamish on cold and sunny morning.
This picture was taken through our dirty windshield…it's the subject, not the photo itself that we love the most.
Squamish has always held our affection….and this is how we've seen it so many times before -- through our dirty windshield.
