Leading means taking the rope up and inserting gear into the rock. In the event of a fall (which didn't happen) the facts that the rope goes through the gear and S is at the bottom controlling the rope would limit how far N could fall.

S also climbed between us (explaining why the rope is different in the video below) but I didn't record that.

Seconding means taking the gear out on the way up. N is at the top controlling the rope, limiting how far I can fall.

At the point around 10:00 where I call for slack she can't hear me properly (it's very windy where she's sitting) which is why it takes several calls. The apparently pointless bit of gear a little after had the rope removed from it earlier because it was causing the rope to drag too much.

The rock is Holyhead Mountain.



N climbing Snowfall, a nearby route.



S at the top of one of the routes (I can't remember which).



N+S a bit further down.



Looking back up the mountain. I think the routes we climbed are all in this one.
