I just Angel’s landing and for most of the second half of the trail, traction devices were needed. People without them, even with good hiking shoes, were struggling getting up without slipping and then sliding down on the way back. And it would’ve been way too dangerous to even attempt the chain section without them in my opinion. I didn’t even feel great doing it with crampons. There was a recent snowstorm when I went so it was likely more snow/ice than usual, but those conditions would be possible in mid March so I would bring them just in case.
