I'll be in the Enchanted Rock, Texas area this coming weekend. I'm wading through the routes there. I'm looking to practice moves more than climb hard stuff.

Does anyone know a few good routes at erock with bolted anchors? Or where a toprope anchor can be set up with a #2 and a #3?

much appreciated

The Motorboat boulder has easy toprope access. There are a number of climbs right in that area that have anchors or places for pro to set up a toprope climb.

Look at:
Motorboat boulder/Navy route
Jackknife
Practice slab

Take the Echo Canyon trail to the backside, purple trail to the right.

Edit to add:
There is a very decent guide book (by Sean O'Grady I believe) for sale at the ranger's office for less than $20. When you walk in look at the wall directly right of you.

Here is some Beta. Shows access to climbing routes and walk/scramble to toprope anchor for Motorboat.

Pumper #9 on Lizardhead boulder can be anchored with #2s and #3s. I think we used two #2s and a #3, though you could probably do it with all #2s or all #3s, depending on what you have. You can easily walk to the top, but it's kind of awkward to build an anchor up there with the proper direction of pull.
Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
