Point of peak intensity (6)

I believe the answer is:

climax

(Other definitions for climax that I've seen before include "The decisive moment, in a novel or play say" , "Turning point, moment of greatest intensity" , "(Reach the) highest level" , "High point" , "Peak of emotion" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
