If the person seconding does not know how to thread an anchor, take them to the right of the grey slabs and teach them on the anchors that are at ground level. Take some time out of your oh so important climbing day and actually put a bit of work into teaching your partner a new skill in a safe environment. Once you have done this there is no longer a probem.

Really, just stop being lazy.
