The Herndon Monument Climb traditionally marks the end of the freshman, or Plebe, year at the US Naval Academy in Annapolis, MD. The class, numbering over 1000, has a final challenge: scale the Herndon Monument, and replace the Plebe beanie at the top with a Midshipman's cap. The monument has been liberally coated with lard the evening before by upperclassmen, who also helpfully spray water on the plebes during the climb.
THE TASK IS SIMPLE: REPLACE A PLEBE HAT PLACED ON THE TOP OF A GRANITE MONUMENT WITH A MIDSHIPS CAP. AND AS WITH EVERYTHING ELSE DONE IN THE MILITARY, THIS TOO NEEDS TO BE DONE AS QUICKLY AS POSSIBLE. EASY, NO?
