Synchronicity. I had lead harder sport before then, but had never lead anything harder then a 5.9 on trad. I was psyched for weeks. I still walk past it when I go to Roadside and get all pumped up. Also Quinsana Plus in the New River Gorge was a big milestone for me

Jack n the Pulpit. I accidentally sent it and that's the best feeling ever. No expectations of sending, just kept on going. It was a great feeling.

I think my best feeling redpoint was Windy Corner... as I was about to pull up onto the ledge, I was grinning and telling myself, "Enjoy this, you're never going to be here again." It felt easier than it had on any of the attempts, and it was a pretty amazing feeling.

I'm coming back and editing this after the weekend before last... the Inhibitor is now by far my best feeling redpoint, for many reasons. One being that at this time last year, it took me nearly 45 minutes on toprope just to get into the chimney, and when I came down from it I swore I would never get on it again, let alone lead it. When I finally got it, I hadn't even expected to... it was like it came in waves... "Wow, I'm out of the chimney!"... "Holy shit, I'm past the layback!" Plus, it was really cool how the awesome people who were cheering me on really did inspire me to hang on to the jugs coming out of the chimney just as I was ready to let go and take the fall.

I think the best feeling redpoints for me are the ones that come as a total suprise.

I would have to say B3 made me feel the greatest. not having led much trad and getting up there and wetting my pants cause i was so scared. I was super excited for weeks, but didnt lead any trad for a good 2 years after that too.
