Deep water bouldering near Moab or anywhere else in Utah?

I was just reading in October's issue of Dead Point Magazine and saw a wicked awesome picture of Nick Williamson doing some sweet bouldering over water somewhere near Moab. The label says Goldbar, maybe as in Goldbar Rim, but I don't think there are any lakes there. Maybe it's over the Colorado River? Either way I'm desperate to find some Deep Water Climbing anywhere in Utah. Lake Powell hasn't been very fruitful yet. Maybe I've been looking in the wrong places since there are hundreds of miles of cliffs along the lake, that a person could spend months on a pontoon and still never see half the stuff there. Anyone got any cool places they're willing to reveal?

Try along River road. Not really "deep" water but you can have allot of fun.

There's a boulder problem, 5.9 or so up Left Hand at the first deep pool. Lots of Turons.

The photo was probably from the Goldbar campground, see blm.gov/ut/st/en/fo/moab/re… for directions.
