Not sure if still true, but at one point Mount monadnock was the second most popular mountain climb in the world. Mt Fuji was number one.

As the wikipedia article on Mt. Monadnock points out, there was never any actual evidence for this claim; it was a guess, probably boosted by state tourism folks. After all, it's not like there's accurate data on number of annual climbers for every popular small mountain in the world!

But Monadnock can be wicked crowded on a nice weekend, that's for sure.

Thank you. I had heard that urban legend from my dad way back before the internet could check any dad facts.
