Work your way up the right facing dihedral. Starts out easy and becomes more sustained at the top. The crux is getting out of the alcove at the top.


Location 

Farther down the trail past Megster and Baby Buzzard. 40' left of Frolicland.


Protection 

small to medium

Noticed in DCA that the 5.7 part ends at a small tree lower than we climbed at 40'. It is 5.9 from that ledge to the belay ledge I'm at in the picture.
