Difficulty rating is only due to retrieving without tools. Back story - Wikipedia: The Herndon Monument on the grounds of the U.S. Naval Academy is a tall grey obelisk. It was erected in memory of Captain William Lewis Herndon who courageously decided to go down with his ship, SS Central America, and the men left aboard rather than save himself on September 12, 1857. All women and children and many of the men aboard were saved by a nearby ship during the storm. It is the site of the famous "plebes-no-more" ceremony, where the plebes (first year students at the academy) all work together to climb the greased monument and replace a plebe "dixie-cup hat" on top with a midshipman hat. This is the official end of the plebe year and comes as a great relief to all the first year students. It is a Naval Academy tradition that the Midshipman who replaces the dixie cup hat will be given a pair of Admiral's shoulder boards. Legend says that he or she will be the first of his or her class to make Flag Rank, although in reality this has not yet occurred. If you retrieve this you may be granted Good Geocaching luck. PLEASE DO NOT ATTEMPT THIS IF YOU CANNOT REPLACE IT WHERE YOU FOUND IT. THERE IS A MARKER SIGNIFYING THE PROPER PLACEMENT- JUST REPLACE ON THAT MARKER.
