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 route starts in a short chimney with a small to medium crack that opens up to a low angled slab with a medium to wide crack on the left.
Location
Just North of the Kingdom of Zilch area there are a couple of boulders that create a low roof perfect for escaping the sun. One of these boulders creates a chimney against the main Upper Balcony wall. The climb will start here. This climb is left of Spiderman.
Protection
This climb will take BD Cams as small as #0.5 and as big as #5, mostly in the medium range though. For anchors, just beyond the top of the climb there is a vertical crack that will take small gear. I built my anchor there and extended it with my rope back 10-15 feet so that I could reduce rope drag and view my follower.
