I would do it. I am afraid of heights and made it to the top. I dont believe it is a fall and die scramble but on the last bit it is fall and break something. The nice thing about this hike is that you hike up a nive trail to the ridge line and then walk along the ridge towards the peak until you feel like turning around. My 4 year old hiked to the ridge last year. We just stayed on the wide portion and didnt go all the way to the top.

The above link has a good picture of how wide the ridge is for most of it. Its just the last bit that is a bit exposed. So as long as it wont ruin your day if you dont reach the top, do it and turn around if you get uncomfortable. This hike is worthwhile regardless.
