Note on Greg Bailey. He was a good friend, a wonderful artist and very creative climber from Quincy, IL. Greg belonged to the generation before of ours and more than anyone else was the one who really got us trad climbing. He also took us to do trad FAs at JF, Bellsmith Springs and various other venues around Southern Illinois. And that was a real distinction between us and that generation before us was a lot of them were also cavers and they all liked exploring Sothern Illinois and ranged all over the place. Their climbing wasn't focused on difficulty per se, but rather the adventure. We, on the other hand, locked hard onto Giant City with a kind of laser focus on the gymnastic kind of movement offered by the overhangs there and so spent far less time afield than the generation before us. The younger folks like Alan, Adam, and Eric who came up at Giant City during that period then fanned back out in adventure mode to find and do their own FAs with JF, Drapers, and SoIll sport climbing the result of that fan out.
