The girls of UKClimbing.com thank you Dougald for posting that.

Any plans for a poster?

It's like an album cover from the ’80s.

Stephan is clearly thinking:
Alex fell again, look at all the snow on his knees. This guy can't handle horizontal ground.
Alex is thinking:
why did Thomas not shave his chest? This is going to ruin the picture.
Thomas is thinking:
I hope my wife does not see this.
