sport climbing 35+ routes

How do you solve the rope length problem when you climb 35+ meter routes? Are they using more than one rope or 80m rope? And if they use more than one rope how do they connect them?

Whenever you climb route longer than 30m, there are normally a belaystation half way, where you can clip in and pull down the rope. However, the rope manufactors have started to produce 70 and 80 meters long ropes.
