I have tried a few ways to manage the lead rope while climbing. from coiling on the ground (pretty silly lots of extra feeding to pull rope up) then in a small back pack. which was ok.

The idea of the prusik sounds good as I did have a bit of trouble with the rope sliding down to the anchore the higher I climbed and needed to keep feeding it back up to keepo tension.

Once at the top I tied off and set up a top rope anchore , rapped down pulling gear out and climbed again one rope in the gri gri and tying clove hitches into the other rope onto alternating biners.
slow process but learnt heaps and still got to climb.

One thing though@!!! I definatley know you need to make decisions as you go and if getting to a crux and not happy with Pro placements, down climbing becomes a wonderful thing, even if it is to pick another line or to rap of the last bit of gear. All of which I have experienced!
Especially climbing new routes that may not be graded or in new areas.

Still think its great training, had a rope coil as I was rapping down and needed to stop mid stream and tye off the rap to sort the coil. again lots to learn.
