The obligatory shot of a geodetic survey marker at the top.
There are two or three of these around the summit, dating from about
1959 or so and still pretty readable.
There were quite a few people on the summit, several of which were
impressed with our footwear.
Apparently barefooting Monadnock is a little more of "a thing" than
other places, but we didn't actually spot anyone else in that state,
who hadn't just temporarily doffed their boots to relax at the top.
Various expressions heard throughout the day included "hardcore",
"awesome", "real men", and "I love your shoes".
John was quick to point out that anyone could do this, with a little
training-up... and the obvious reply to that last one, of course,
is "Thanks! I grew them myself."
