Patey's response was to ask if any climber ever admits to to actually being on form?

 Outdoor Leadership Training Seminars - Centered Climbing Article   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
Tom Patey, a famous Scottish climber, suggested that to climb with ease and abandon we need to allow the primate within us to emerge and produce a flow of movement which is as natural and instinctive as the impulse of a one year old to climb over furniture and up stairs.
The implications of this, and the lessons to be drawn from such experience, can have a profound effect on how one views one's life and choices.
In Patey's opinion, it is a "letting go" rather than a "making do." Others would suggest that it takes a finely honed control of one's mind and body to apply muscle and balance in just the right combination.
