What else would you do on a Thursday night?

Starry conditions and -2 °C, "What else would you do on a Thursday night?" wondered Emil Ragnarsson. Despite his amorous overture and delicate crimps Med Ena Foten i Bäcken 7A, Fiby steadfastly resisted.

Tottes Hund (Tottes Dog)

Some guys go out in the forest and take pictures of themselves, for whatever reasons. I suppose it's both promotional and artistically challenging, nonetheless, its much more fun to share the experience. Jonas Wigren sticking the "other" crimp on Tottes Hund 7A+, Fiby, Sweden.
