Access Issue: Rule changes for pets and trail closures 30 minutes after sunset
Details
Rule Changes Concerning Pets at Enchanted Rock State Natural Area to Take Effect March 1.
Beginning March 1, new rules will take effect at Enchanted Rock State Natural Area designed to balance the need to better protect sensitive natural habitats atop the rock, including the vernal pools, and still allow visitors to continue to enjoy central Texas’ most popular destination with their pets.
Starting Tuesday, pets will only be allowed in specified camping areas, day-use areas and the Loop Trail. Pets will no longer be allowed to accompany hikers on the Summit Trail that ascends to the top of Enchanted Rock.
Most trails, including the Summit Trail, are closed 30 minutes after sunset, allowing park visitors to view the sunset and safely descend to the parking lot. The Loop Trail is the only trail open after sunset to gain access to the primitive camping areas.

Description
The original grade given this route in The Dome Driver Manual is 5.8. However, it felt harder than that to me. A large piece fell off a few years ago, so the grade may have changed.
The over hanging roof section is burly and fun. However, the rock quality quickly becomes crumbly above the roof. I DO NOT THINK THE GEAR ABOVE THE ROOF WILL HOLD A FALL. So it's probably best to top rope it due to the poor rock quality higher up.
