Re: Favorite mountain
With extremely limited hiking outside of Colorado, I'd have to say Kit Carson. The scramble up the North Ridge is better than all of the other scrambles I've done so far, including Pyramid, Bells (traverse), Crestone (traverse), and Capitol. There is sustained scrambling for so long on incredible rock. The views of the Crestones and sand dunes are fantastic and hiking past Willow Lake is beautiful.

Re: Favorite mountain
Favourite that I've climbed is Adams. Super fun climb and a wicked glissade. I almost wanted to summit again just for another ride. The views from the summit with Rainier on one side and Hood on the other were sublime. Although, I'm partial to volcanoes so your mileage may vary.
Favourite Colorado peak was La Plata, but I do have an admittedly small sample size. But I thought the lower part of the trail up the "staircase" next to the river was pretty spectacular.
Favourite peak anywhere, climbed or otherwise, is Logan Massif. I'm more than a wee bit obsessed with that mountain, and will climb it one day.

Re: Favorite mountain
I guess I'd limit my favorite to one I've actually seen, but in this case not climbed. It's the one to the rear left.

Re: Favorite mountain
Limited experience outside of CO, but my favorite so far in Colorado is 10,926 in the Lost Creek. You climb thru a cave and pop out on the summit.

Schilthorn in the Bernese Oberland. The view of Eiger, Monch, Jungfrau, and the valley in between is everything you would expect. My wife and I hiked it on our honeymoon (we did take the tram on the way down) . Photo from Wikipedia as ours are all on slides.
