With some rope-made anchors, it's far easier to lead in blocks than you think. Take, for example, this one: http://www.rockclimbing.com/...post=2350584#2350584. Atomic-clip-style anchors, like the three-loop 8, are also pretty easy.
Careful, members might get caught in a loop forever when you are posting a link to the same thread that you are posting to.

My system rocks for leading in blocks and It generaly takes me about 90 seconds to get squared away at a gear anchor unless the pro is just horrible.. I do actually use the rope as part of the anchor if i need a 3rd piece. If i have 2 bomber pieces its my trusty 4ft NYLON runner with pre tied limiter knotts. Super fast, super equalizeing, super easy. done deal when most other folks are still wankin arround unwrapping their cordelete of building some gizmo with 4 meters of rope.
