5. Attach a locking carabiner to the end of the rope, with a clove hitch, overhand loop or lig-8 loop.
6. Clip a cordelette to the carabiner and lock it.
7. Munter hitch the cordelette to your harness.
8. Lock off the munter and undo the belay device and the prusik.
9. Lower climber on the cordelette.

That'll give you an extra 6m if you have an open-ended cordelette, or 3m if tied in a loop.
