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
Fist and hand crack in the right facing dihedral. Scramble up the low angle 4th class face in front of the boulder pile to the large comfortable ledge below the dihedral. An anchor can be built here to belay from if desired or you can belay from the ground. Climb the corner and finish up a short stretch of low angle slab. The climb is about 30' from the big ledge, 100' if you include the 4th class terrain below the big ledge.
Location
Look for the obvious and prominent dihedral to the left of Zig-Zag. It can be seen in the upper left of the Beta Photo for the Lost Wall Trail.
Protection
Takes medium size cams to protect. Around #3 BD is ideal. Take some extra gear for anchors. No bolted anchors or fixed protection of any kind are found on the route. There are plenty of cracks on top to build an anchor. You can descend by walking to the skiers left after topping out and locating the Voo Doo Potato Chips rap anchors. This double bolted anchor is located about half way across the wall, approximately in the middle between Slam Bam and Strawberry Jam. Scramble down 3rd class slab to the anchors to rap off. Some people may want a belay down to the anchors as it is a little bit exposed. A 60 Meter rope just makes it to the ground from these anchors.
