In reply to maxsmith:
A few tips,
Get a grigri and a ropeman to hold tension of brake rope away from grigri
Learn one handed clove hitches,
Have everything on screwgates, preferably Oval. I carry 6 when I do.
Realise that, gear still needs to be extended solo or it will pull as a normal lead in the event of a fall.
Don't dream of getting on anything hard, and if you do- remember that "there are no prizes for falling off" so pull on gear, do what ever you have to do, to not fall.
When you set your anchors, 2/3 good bits of pro, bring everything to a master point (upside down) and have a downward piece with a prussik on the lead rope to hold the belay together (pulled upward) also clip the lead rope through another quickdraw.
Every piece of gear you own is expendable, you aren't.
Take care
