In reply to gazfellows:
What about abbing on a rope each , ie one climber on one ,one climber
on the other seen it on a ice climbing vid but never heard off any one
doing it . Any one here done this ???
In reply to mark turnbull: I wouldn't especially if your anchors aren't brilliant. not to mention the fact that you'd be in each other's way (assuming it's not off either side of a pinnacle or something).
In reply to mark turnbull: I wouldn't recommend counterbalance abseiling unless it is essential,
it is easy enough to use both ropes through your belay device backed up with a prusik.

In reply to gazfellows: a couple of mates did a seesaw abseil off a big route in the dark (after it had taken a couple of us ages to pass a knot on a 120m abseil) to no ill effect and you avoid getting in each others way by one going a little ahead. certainly the fastest way i know to get 2 people off a large cliff.
however i would save it for a last resort as there are a fair few ways of getting it wrong and most could be fatal
