170522-N-DY073-0486 ANNAPOLIS, Md. (May 22, 2017) Naval Academy plebes form a human pyramid around the 21-foot tall Herndon Monument to remove a plebe hat that 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 no longer plebes.
