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
Bitch is the first climb encountered when approaching Motorboat along the purple climber's trail. Climb a short face to reach the crack above. The crack starts about 1/3 of the way up the rock, and starts as an off-width that narrows as you climb higher. Look for plenty of hidden holds inside the crack, some of which are a little rotten or crumbly. The protection is good (large cams up to a #3.5 Camalot help), but the crack tends to throw you a little off balance. At the top of the crack, face climb up good edges to the anchors.
