Backing-up the belayer:
- weight difference,
Spot the leader before the first point is clipped.
- belaying under a roof.
Extending an anchor with a sling to avoid incorrect carabiner loading.
Stay directly underneath the first piece of protection.
Clip the second point at waist level; this reduces the amount of rope out and thus helps prevent the climber hitting the ground in case of a fall before making the clip.
