Hock Turns 58

Here I am having just blown out the candles on the cheesecake Lucy made for my birthday. (You'll notice there are only two candles to accommodate my diminished max VO2!) Most of the presents from family or friends were either climbing gear our pata-gucci items for work. Of course, there is always at least one book, and this year it was John Biggar's, "The Andes: a guide for climbers."
