I did this one today as s tribute to Syoung (Sam) who is no longer with us. A month ago he decided that his time here on earth was over. On todays hike I thought of him and the various hikes we did together. The first one was with Joe and myself. The three of us did Weavers Needle. I would later do other hikes with him and then ultimately he and I did Kilimanjaro in Africa last year. I always enjoyed Sam and admired his ability to speed up and down the Flatiron with ease. At one point I showed him that you could climb the pointy rock at the base of the Flatiron. He later named it the "Gatekeeper" and wrote a description on HikeArizona for it. He did that one numerous times in the last couple years. Of course for most of us when we think of Sam we think of the Flatiron. It was clearly the hike he did the most. Today I did the Flatiron and the Gatekeeper in Sam's honor.
Rest in peace my friend...
