Well, you can get near to Angel's Landing without doing anything
scary, and then decide if you want to go farther. You'll be able
to see it and talk to people who are coming back. There's a lookout
where you can stop before the "scary" part out to Angel's Landing.
If you aren't afraid of heights, it's not a big deal to go to Angel's
Landing (it's not very technical). If you are, don't go, but do
go up to the lookout.

It's a big climb, but the footing is fine. Just take your time.
The longest climb is up something called "Walter's Wiggles." The
nice thing about this is, in the morning, it'll be in the shade.

Observation Point is similar to the pre-Landing hike. There's
nothing scary in that. Just take your time (and bring plenty of
water) if you're unsure.
