Big wall - Switch from self belay to being belayed	16-Jan-2013 At 6:47:09 PM	Olbert

I would have thought you've actually got it mostly right. The leader leads a pitch and makes the belay. He pulls up all the rope and ties it off - the seconder starts judging. With the left over rope the leader solos out with a standard self belay. When the seconder arrives the leader is put on belay by the seconder pulling through all excess rope. Keep in mind this is usually an aid technique so that the leader won't get very far and they can hang around whilst the rope gets sorted.
