Naval Academy cadets annual Herndon Monument Climb

I know, I know... No one wants to see shirtless Naval Academy cadets climb on top of each other to reach the top of a slippery monument...

But just in case someone DOES want to see such shenanigans, here you go.

Each year the Naval Academy’s freshmen — known as “plebes” — climb a greased 21-foot obelisk to mark their transition to sophomore status.

I love tradition.
