Does anyone know where "Cable Arch" is - It looks like it's near Behind the Rocks:

I think you are looking for Funnel Arch, which is the official name as registered with the National Arch and Bridge Society. There is no arch in their database called Cable Arch. I know the cable is use to access the area above, but I'm not positive it actually climbs up the arch.

You can order both the NABS World Database and Arches database here:

I own both and I think they are well worth the coin.

Someone asked about this arch a while back so I added it the the Climb Utah website. It's a nice arch.
