Backing-up the belayer:

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.
