So are there scary sections or potentially dangerous sections of the AT?

I am not overly scared of heights but as I have aged I have become more cautious and careful. Wondering what fears I may need to conquer as I traverse the AT going NOBO. Some photos or references will let me mentally deal with those fears in advance and build my confidence.

For reference in my younger (bolder) days I have skydived and descended mountain passes on my bicycle at 60+mph and even now I am pretty confident in my abilities. However a couple years ago I attempted Angels Landing in Zion and chose to turn back after a couple of chain sections. I was right at the edge of my comfort level but there were so many people I felt like I was not in complete control of my situation. Perhaps with the permit system I will try it again in the future. For reference after bailing we left from Scouts Landing and headed up the little rise to the West Rim Trail. We were greeted with incredible (similar) views with less than a dozen people the rest of the afternoon.
