What/where are the pieces in the traverse? what follows it?

Up until the first pro is simple - the second lowers from the anchor to the first piece (make sure the second has enough rope)

Likewise any fixed gear can be lowered out from.

As whipper said, fixed gear is often found on these pitches, but I wouldn't leave a big cam if that was the only option. Call me cheap...

If the route goes up at the end of the traverse the second could rap back down to clean - then you could just lower out from the gear in the traverse as it's convenient.

Last resort would be following on hooks, but that's slower than jugging if it's a long traverse.
