Is North a passed hand or not? It makes a huge difference.

pass 1st time is fine. 2S now, and 3H over 3C or 4H over 3H

Our pass the round before wouldn't be everybody's cup of tea, but it certainly is liveable. Especially since our 3 cards in spades make it likely pard is short there and will thus balance with some hcp. Which he in fact did.

I think you're partly missing the point. When I double with my usual (4333 or worse) I'm not afraid of 1S-p-p-p. I'm more afraid of 1S-p-1NT-p, when it is harsh to expect partner with his few points and a suit or with the other major to compete. Also I definitely hate coming in later when I have a balanced hand.
... and I can prove it with my usual, flawless logic.

I just meant that pass or dbl are ok bids. None is clearly better.

For the record, I consider West's pass over his partner's 1♠ opening absolutely awful.
