Whether you call it Rock of Ages or Pool Arch Canyon, the route is a fun one. With some spectacular views and rappels it's a fantastic hike to knock off a day with. Generally it's gonna have some water in the canyon, not as much on hotter days, or days where there has been no rain fall for a while. Rock of Ages canyon is a spectacular route to mess around in.

Be prepared on the third / final rappel. It catches a lot of people a little off guard if your not expecting it. There is some exposure to it and some major penalty points. You have to lean out against the edge of the great abyss in order to rig it. We simply tied a hard line to the anchor on top and used this as a safety point for the rigger to be tied into. Also consider using a safety tether off of your harness to connect to this anchor. With the tie in, we didn't feel this was necessary, however if Jeff had slipped or been knocked over the edge, it would have taken him a bit of work to get back up over the lip with out having the safety tether attached. Shoulda done it.

This canyon is located up in Pritchett Canyon area of Kane Creek. Not far from town and not hard to find and get in to. I know there are several guide services in the Moab area offering trips into this canyon as well.
