Yes, you read that correctly. Audio guru, technology wonk, amateur photographer, excessive hair donner, noise-band musician, Pwop sound engineer, and saviour of the world, Geoff (Jesus) Maciolek has committed an act of shaving off nearly all of his facial hair.

Live from the Gunks, professional climber Jason Kehl shares stories of memorable sends, crushing falls, and the life he lives in between. Hear about his 5.13+ first boulder ascent in Squamish, British Columbia - aka "summer camp for climbers", and his crushing mechanical bull injury. Jason stokes his creative fires through finding new routes, shaping holds, and sculpting art - including a sculpture of a giant piece of meat, which he's fond of hanging on friends walls when he comes to visit. In this episode, the man with the pimped-out van offers quite the kaleidoscope of climbing life on the road.
