And were assuming your using running man style here, not the froggy way I know some of you are going to say use a grigri but what if the lines are so tight that you would be pulling slack through the grigri every 5-10ft? - That would get annoying and be very slow you cant tie into the end of the rope and tieing in short would only allow you to go maybe 10ft before you had to retie, so what do you do? Grigri, if the lines are so tight you can't use the grigri, then someone fucked up. Fixed lines does not mean CABLES. The prussik above works ok, but it you clear an edge or clean a piece of gear, or pass a knot, you've got some issues to deal with.
