U.S. Naval Academy freshman ("plebes") participate in the the annual Herndon Monument climb at the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland on Wednesday, May 14, 2025. As part of the tradition, the plebes attempt to scale a 21-foot lard-greased monument to knock off a "dixie cup" hat and replace it with an upperclassman's hat. The 2028 midshipmen's class took 2 hours 27 minutes and 31 seconds to scale the monument and replace the hat. Photo by Bonnie Cash/UPI
