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
This is perhaps the best boulder problem at Enchanted Rock. It has it all: endurance, overhang, slopers, crimps, and a nice technical highball finish.
Sit start low on a sloping flake / rail and climb out using heel hooks and some long moves until the flake turns to a thin crack. Pull some tough crimp moves to an obvious shelf. Mantle and finish up the technical face.
There are some variations like dropping off from the ledge (V4) and starting from the ledge and finishing to the top (V2). Strive for the king line, though.
Location
Found on the north side cave of the Foxhole Boulder.
