This is the updated rap anchor at the top of Black Gold. You can top out to belay the second, but use the chain and rap ring below the lip as set here to rappel down, so that you are able to pull your rope.

Looking down at the ledge above the creek where the belayer stands for the first pitch of Black Gold. You'll know you're there when you've reached the end of the terrain that you can easily walk without scrambling around the base of Creekside.
