Climber's objective (4)

I believe the answer is:

acme

(Other definitions for acme that I've seen before include "Zenith - optimum" , "Highest level or degree attainable" , "crown" , "Came awkwardly to the highest point" , "Point of perfection, apex" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
