15 pages just on Chockstone, when 'searched' (function tab on LHS of screen), for ... 'roped soloing'.

Would be many more if extended to the full web vide google ...

Lots of techniques (and devices), available.

The (possible) biggest difficulty is keeping your 'head' together while doing it.

Apart from the web, some start up reading could include the following;
Advanced Rock Climbing by John Long & Craig Luebben.
Climb On: Skills For More Efficient Climbing by Hans Florine & Bill Wright
Big Wall Climbing: Elite Technique by Jared Ogden.
Self Rescue by David J. Fasulo.
