Mount Monadnock, New Hampshire. They say that it’s the 2d most climbed mountain in the world, second only to Mount Fuji. Could be. On the morning of 20 July I ‘ran’ up in and ‘slid’ down in two hours and twenty minutes. It was quite a workout and much more of a challenge than I remember from the last time I climbed it. Maybe it was a different trail, but maybe not. Either way it’s incredible to think that my sister, at about 45 years of age, climbed it in a cotton sun dress and ‘China-boy’ shoes. I reckon that we come from good stock.
