It seems to me that there is a route at Stone Mountain NC that you have to belay from a single bolt on one of the pitches. Banana Breath maybe? Anyway, I guess if it's all you've got then that's what you use.

I've come across this more than once in NC and SC. I was also part of a FA where we only had two more bolts and clearly needed one for the next pitch, resulting in a cam and single bolt combo. Never happy with it,but its better than nothing! Especially if its shiny and you can make sure it doesn't pop out.
I've also had a partner who relayed a story about a climb at Laurel Knob where the belay was one bolt. He actually tried to pull on it before clipping in, and good thing because it came out.
