Herndon Monument Climb: US Naval Academy frosh climb greasy monument in annual tradition
The annual Herndon Monument Climb took place in Annapolis, Ma. on Wednesday. The longstanding tradition of the U.S. Naval Academy sees freshmen climb a 21-foot stone obelisk slathered with vegetable shortening to replace a hat at the top and symbolically transition from newcomers to fourth-class midshipmen.
