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
Start below the ramp and follow smaller than expected features up the ramp to a comfortable stance below the headwall. Work your way up the left wall and into the notch, from which you can top out. Beware of a few hollow sounding jugs near the top.
Protection
Single rack with some smaller size pieces. There are no top anchors or bolts on this route. However, the Mighty Dog anchors are located near the top out and it is possible to use them as a belay with appropriate rigging.
The climbing team may need to give careful consideration to anchoring in the belayer at the base of the route, depending on where the belayer is positioned.
