I was going to suggest they could try splicing the rope-ends together and then pull it up through the draws but thought there was too much risk that someone would try duct-taping the ends together. Apart from duct-tape being bad for the rope, they would have to remember to knot the ropes once the join reached the lower-off.

On a serious note, I forgot to include the obvious twin ropes option which is a pretty good way to go if you plan on doing some big sport routes..
