Lots of great ones.
Some of my favorite memories are; Huandoy Oeste in Peru via the 2nd ascent of the Czech route. Lotus Flower Tower was a long held goal that was a satisfying summit, the Maiden in the Arrigetch was really cool too.

The Ben, in winter, because it is The Ben plus I survived the post mortem.
Oh, I didn't have to breathe very hard, either.

lots of great responses in this old thread.
depends what you mean by best, but I am pretty proud of my solo FA of this little doozy. the काठमाडौं Cookie summit block was, if you will, a high point for me.

For me all of them, every single one. That being said, I have prolly been up Crestone Needle with more different partners, and by a greater number of routes than any other peak anywhere.
Other worthy best peaks:
The list just goes on and on.......

Nick, what illiterate dyslexic named Crestone ‘Needle’?
Or has it already worn away the needly bit?

Reilly,
Never really thought about it. Crestone Needle does have an ever-so-slightly pointier summit than Crestone Peak, to which it is connected by a ridge with many "needles". Maybe is was named that way just to needle you???

Yes, I forgot about Picacho Del Diablo. It was a milestone for me at 14 or 15 yrs. old and my last Sierra Club peak trip. It was epic with broken bones and rescues (not me).
dee ee, were you on that John Robinson trip?

Just because nobody has mentioned it yet: 3rd Pillar of Mt Dana, haha.
I had a long fascination with El Picacho del Diablo.
