In reply to EddInaBox:

He said his mate was going to 2nd the route - personally I think it is always safer for the leader to thread the rings as he still has all the gear below him clipped.
The 2nd would be lowering of a single bolt at the end but that sounds unavoidable with the arrangement at the belay,
