Exit into the light


Description 

Once inside the cave, a stupendous hand and fist crack beckons you up into the light.
Traffic and weather have smoothed the ordinarily rough granite. And the sheltered nature protects you from the Texas heat.
Navigate around the lip of the roof and continue to the treeline for a magnificent pitch.
Not to be missed, one of the best routes in the park.


Location 

Finding this route could be problematic for a newcomer to Enchanted rock. either:

-locate Jacknife and climb to it's summit.
then rap down into the bowl (or downclimb around to the right)
and scoot underneath into the cave

-or, (trickier) navigate through the piles of boulders and caves to reach it from underneath.
