Kolob is one of my favorite areas and this is a nice album. I found some rappel chains at the top of a scramble once on a prominent notch. The notch is just left (if your looking from the road) of a massive vertical crack. Someone told me it might be called the Icebox, and I think if you rappel it it might take you close to the Kolob Arch. Sound familiar?
I added a so-so quality picture of what I was talking about:
It does! I love Icebox Canyon. It's one of my favorite. The start is something else, but you do end at Kolob Arch. I got stung by a scorpion there the day we did that one. That's a beautiful photo from Kolob. I love the deep rich colors there.

Re: Great IdeaYou are welcome. :)
Yes, Bo writes the canyon descriptions on that side. He is good at what he does.
