It certainly makes things nice and quick but it also opens up climbs to top-roping masses. I bet if you set up nice double bolt belays on a whole lot of trad routes on a popular wall you will see an increase in people top-roping them. For instance, some cliffs at Bluffs in Squamish (Canada) have double bolts at the top of every trad climb. Don't even think about going there on the weekend to lead a climb. I guess it is a good thing for beginners that only top-rope. Can't think of any Australian examples. Anyone??? On the other hand if its a difficult to setup a belay well I wouldn't have a problem with it. If it is a perfectly simple trad belay I would leave it. Jono.
