That's why I like to use the Metolius Easy Aider for sport. It's my first clip when I arrive at the belay, then I clove hitch the rope to the other anchor (If we are talking about 2 bolt anchors) this way I am backed up. It may be redundant, but I like to be redundant for safety reasons, always. And the easy aider is always the backup for the rope, not vice versa.
