For those afraid of heights, is it a (bit) less frightening because when you look across to your right you see another sheer rock face, rather than open sky?
Nice video and have a question about traction and hike difficulty. I bought coil traction had conditions similar or a little more snow than yours. Traction was fine up to the chains. Going up chains, scary but ok. Then there was s gap in chains with a rocky slope. I got scared. Metal on rock and no chain. Continued until false summit and stopped. Do you have any concern with you spikes on rock ledge? Also, the section beyond where I stopped, any similar sections to what stopped me?
Hi thanks for your comment! I thought the spikes I used was more than sufficient for the condition on the day I hiked. But I personally would not try to attempt if my equipment were anything less. I think you absolutely made a prudent judgment by not going any further with just the coiled traction. Sounds like you were aware of your limitations and that was an intelligent decision. Hope this helps!
Just to clarify, you did not need to take the zion shuttle to the angels landing trailhead correct? You could just drive right up because shuttles aren’t running currently?
Hey! When I was there the shuttle were not in service due to their scheduled time off. It was back in service from 12/23 to 1/1. However, I do see on the Zion website that it's not in service again from 1/2 until February. I think you can always call them to check, if you don't get a park ranger, try contacting the zion lodge or other local hotel/business (zion outfitter, etc.), they would have a better idea!

For some reason, this video doesn't look as vertigo-inducing as all of the others of Angel's Landing that I've seen.

Do you hike alone? The video shot, do you need "go and back" to take your camera or recording device?
Do you need a permit to hike this trail?
During the winter?
