The fixed tail climbing method describes a system in which the climbing line is tied to the saddle (either directly with a knot or indirectly with a carabiner or rope clip) with a short tail left beyond the termination.
The split tail climbing method refers to a system in which the climbing line is tied to the saddle (preferably indirectly with a carabiner or rope clip) without leaving a tail beyond the termination.
The split tail method is easier on the climbing line and prevents the climber from having to shorten it periodically as in the fixed tail method.

 Flatliners Southeast Climbing FAQ's - Understanding Fall Factors
The shock load resulting from a fall in a climbing system is the result of three factors; the energy absorbing (stretch) characteristics of the rope, the fall factor, and the weight of the falling climber.
Forces generated in a climbing system can quickly exceed factor 2 if a static rope is used, causing grave (deadly) injuries to the climber and generating forces in the system which exceed the strength of the gear used.
A static rope may be used (cautiously) in a top rope system or a gym where falls are measured only in inches, but not in the system used for lead climbing.

 The American Safe Climbing Association
After many very difficult climbs accumulated in the 5.9 rating, the decimal system was "broken" in that it was no longer a decimal system, and the 5.10 rating came in to existence, followed by 5.11, 5.12, 5.13, 5.14, and now 5.15.
However, all the various rating systems do not describe the danger level faced by the leader should the leader fall (which is one reason why the YDS should not be used in climbing gyms).
The amount of protection on a climb is traditionally determined by the first to climb the route, and while climbing is a fairly anarchistic pursuit, the one revered tradition is that later climbers never add additional fixed protection to an existing route.

 Definition: Climbing Grades and Class
This system categorizes terrain according to the techniques and equipment required in ascending that terrain, using two terms: Class (difficulty of each move) and Grade (overall length of time to climb).
Therefore, a 5.10 is not a more precise 5.1, but a climb harder than a 5.9; and a 5.11 is not between a 5.1 and a 5.2, but harder than a 5.10.
However, other than regional variations, or variations from the gym to tradition ("trad") climbing, there is more agreement than disagreement, and as a matter of fact, the system works very well (ie, it serves the needs of climbers in communicating level of difficulty).

 Equipment in the climbing system
The climbing system can be thought of as a series of links that connect the lead climber via harness, rope, knots, runners and belay device to a partner or belayer.
Each link must be intact and secure for the system to withstand a high impact fall.
In other words, there is no point in having brand new equipment right from the harness to karabiners and rope if you then clip an old, damaged or worn-out piece of 'tat' as your only piece of gear on a hard pitch - that's asking for trouble.
