Fix it at the bottom. Tie one end to the bottom of a stout tree (wrap it to keep it from riding up the tree) and jug the other end as a single line.

You east coasters and your trees.

Treeless/crackless/gearless version: The climber raps off his route, cleaning all the draws except the bottom two, into which he clove hitches one side of the rope, providing you with a two-bolt anchor. You jug the other end. To descend, you single-line rap the free end. Clean the second-to-bottom draw on rappel. Stick-unclip the bottom draw from the ground.
