| Abstract | "The subject of the book is the annual Herndon Climb, which is an important and meaningful ritual in Academy culture. Scaling of the heavily greased, 21-foot tall Herndon Monument as a group at the very end of the year for " plebes," or freshmen, marks a major turning point in the lives of all Midshipmen, who are relieved of their low status at the moment they complete the task. The book is culled from interviews with over fifty subjects, including participants in Climbs over the past six decades, with personal observations from the 2019 and 2018 events"-- Provided by publisher. |
