I dont have an answer for this yet as I dont have enough experience but would love to know what you guys have seen?
do you mean human achievement or an awesome scenic moment?
My first summit bivvy on Bernagh. It was a good friday years ago and the weather was perfect. Spoke to a man passing over as dusk fell (who I believe may have been that Trail/TGO fella with the glasses who reviews the gear (name is escaping me))... that is an aside; not the awe inspiring thing :P
I tucked in and viewed a rainbow horizon melting into every deepening blue, with perfect trails of smoke from 100 bbqs reaching arrow-straight to the heavens. There was not a breeze, and I read by my candle lantern until the stars filled my dreams. Dawn was almost as special:

WoW, great photo.
an inversion layer when at the top of donard years ago, before I had my own camera unfortunately, really felt like you were walking in the clouds!
Probably standing on the summit of Donard at 3am on a completely clear, still night. Also, looking across the Annalong Valley at the Devils Coachroad on a bright sunny day was spectacular.

Cheers Gerry!
Twas a tripod /slide film /hard ND grad filter effort to capture. I used a spirit level too, but you wouldn't think it! (my camera's hotshoe must be out of line ::) )
75 year old woman racing me up to the top of Donard. I won, honestly I did. No honest I really did. :-\
Just can't find the photo at the minute of the 2 of us reaching the top. ;)
Would have to be sitting beside my 5yr old on top of binnion on a beautiful sunny day with the biggest smile on his face, ;D
Mine has to be the fox stealing redleaders bag at the Iplod last year ;D
