But it didn't turn out that way. Maybe it was all that naked flesh that just got you too excited. Maybe it was the prospect of a free bottle of whisky. Whatever, the couple of dozen entries has run into the hundreds, and it's made a simple task nigh on impossible! Our 'last call for entries' brought in 145 additional suggestions just on its own.
There's also 45 (at the last count) more posts to be found in the comments area of our original blog entry as well. Rescue Choppers indeed, madam!
So, with apologies to anyone that we've missed, we've tried to include all the entries here for you to browse, including various references to cracks and cravasses and having a 3rd ice tool. We've cut and pasted from email, and we've taken some screen shots from Facebook. Please don't shout at us if you can't see yours, we did read them all.
And, oh how we've laughed. Productivity has fallen considerably in June as we've been rolling around the floor at your many captions. Maybe we should be introducing a stand up comedy night in the Boots Bar, as clearly we have so many comedians as customers.
Choosing "the best" for the prize simply hasn't been possible. The best solution was to put the ones that really made us giggle into a metaphorical hat and put out a winner.
And the winner is....
Iain Robertson
Glencoe MRT currently warning of dangerous cracks in the ice.
Nice one Iain. Get in touch and claim your prize.
We also have some t-shirts for...

Thanks to everyone who joined in with the crack (!) on this occasion. You're all heroes and it's you that makes Clachaig what it is.
Cheers!
