Well, Paul has written the last chapter so all that remains is the Epilogue for this holiday, one of the best and most enjoyable ice trips yet.
I had been knackered and limping since end of first week, following the epic walk in to the Black Mount, a wilderness within a wilderness.
Paul had lasted a bit longer but breaking trail through fresh, deep and unpredictable snow on the ‘Stanley Major’ effort finally did his back in.
That night, we both hobbled back from the Drake with the implicit agreement this was the end. After all, we’d been out every single day for 2 weeks, albeit some days were shorter than others.
So next day, we completed the final, and most important, chore of the holiday….return of the ‘empties’.

That last chore must be the longest and most strenuous part of the holiday given the state of the look on Terry’s face and hunched walk.

No, both of your observations relate to my generalised knackeredness at that time

I was marvelling at the number of empties - Terry and Paul must have kept the bottle shops of Canmore busy!

yeah, and the picture you see shows only the first of several trips
We got $6 for the empties at the bottle recycling place
But its not the money
you feel good doing it

… better than how you feel whilst emptying the bottles?

Well, beer always tastes good
but I have to make clear that we did do a lot of entertaining 
so the empties were not entirely attributable to ourselves
