If I'm understanding you right, it sounds like you could just tie into one end of the rope and then self-belay on a gri-gri on the other end.

If you can't climb the route where the rope is, you can jug the end of the rope with the gri-gri on it.

If you can climb the route, but not on self-belay, you can have someone else belay you as you climb, then clip yourself to a bolt so they can give you slack while your throw the gri-gri on.

Does that make sense?

edit:
a gri-gri will be really helpful, as would ascenders. If you don't have ascenders, and don't want to buy them, look into how to ascend with prussiks.
I'm sure a google search would return lots of results on how to jug a rope.
