After the climb, you should feel no trace of tiredness on the contrary, it is then that you should be really fresh. Then you will have found the correct measure of your abilities.

There is probably nothing finer than to climb free and unencumbered by equipment, reveling in the gymnastic upward movement, like Preuss or a Dulfer before you, relying only upon yourself, keeping a sharp eye on things, feeling the rock beneath your feet and fingertips.
