5040 Summit
I’m planning to do this hike in a few days but I’m concerned about getting to the summit. For comparison, I’ve done mt mark via Horne lake hustle with the ropes section going up. However, my fear of heights around that rock face made my fears unfortunately worse and descending the no ropes section. How does 5040’s summit compare? Is it sketchy, too technical? Are there “death drops” that mt mark has? Or is it more slopey. I’ve done other hard hikes on the mainland but not too much here on the island so would really appreciate the input.
