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
It is a unique start of God's Elastic Acre without using the start of Stranger than Friction. Start to the left of the beginning of Stranger Than Friction but to the right of Stranger Direct using the face. Should start right below the first bolt of Stranger than Friction. Keep out on the face, well to the left of the beginning flake for Stranger than Friction. Move up over the overlap and up the face to the first bolt of Stranger than Friction. Then move up and to the right, to the second bolt of God's Elastic Acre. Follow God's Elastic Acre up and to the left. Use the 4th bolt of Stranger than Friction and follow Stranger than Friction up and to the right to the top of Stranger than Friction. Here you can build an anchor and top rope multiple routes or head up and to the top. Between the "anchors" for Stranger than Friction and the top, there is no protection. So, be careful.
VARIATION: At the cross-over the route and head left to the anchors of Texas Radio/God's Elastic Acre to the top. You can build an anchor system here and TR other routes or you rap from the top of the first pitch. Use the anchors for Texas Radio/God's Elastic Acre to belay from if you are heading to the top and the two rap rings. Rap rings are up and to the left of the anchors in the "gap" between two horizontal slab "eyebrow" pieces.
