170522-N-DY073-0587 ANNAPOLIS, Md. (May 22, 2017) Each year, approximately 1,000 members of the United States Naval Academy plebe (freshman) class form a human pyramid around the 21-foot tall Herndon Monument to remove a plebe hat that the upperclassmen have placed on the top. The Herndon Climb is considered the capstone of the freshman year at the Naval Academy, once the freshman class completes the obstacle, they are "plebes no more".
