I would say no. You want to be careful around the summit, but common sense is all you need. Feels safer than Brunswick (for comparison). Thanks for the question. - Tim
There have been a number of north shore rescue extractions from Crown. This is an advanced hike for fit people. I think that you are minimizing the difficulty. Always go with a buddy.

Absolutely outstanding view. You do not see stuff like this on the east coast of the US
The Rockies are something else!
Hi Tim
Thank you very much for taking time to make this and other videos,
They are all great.
If you need a company for hiking let me know
😷
Thank you, sir. I appreciate the kind words.
Great videos. Which did you find more challenging, Crown or Coliseum?
Thank you so much. I found Coliseum a lot tougher and longer than Crown, especially since I took the Grouse gondola up to the trailhead for Crown.
Is using a drone allowed?
Not sure. When I don't know, I don't ask. - Tim
Any overly sketchy climbing parts?
I would say no. You want to be careful around the summit, but common sense is all you need. Feels safer than Brunswick (for comparison).
Thanks for the question. - Tim
Awesome thank you! Heading tomorrow!
@@triggerer33 Cool, enjoy. I'll be curious to hear whether or not you included the Grind.

@SeaToSummitAdventures I didn't lol. Just crown. Going to do it again in a couple weeks!
Any overly sketchy climbing parts?
No. Just take it slowly and carefully in the final 50 feet near the peak.
