The Cascade Link Trail seems to be one of the least used routes to the summit. Although a longer trip, it’s easily one of the less strenuous routes. The last half mile to the Pumpelly junction has some spectacular views.

Accessing the summit via Cascade Link and the Red Spot trails is a favorite. It takes you off the heavily trafficked White Dot Trail and requires less scrambling up rock faces (there are still some scrambles, but hey, it’s Monadnock).
On the return took White Cross

A popular classic. Overcrowded in summer but immensely enjoyable in winter. Near perfect day on 3/9/19.
