I did one of those at Angel's Landing once.
I don't think it was actually 200 people, and I know it wasn't 2 hours. But it was a single file line of people heading both directions. Certainly risk of death if you fall off either side - but it wasn't quite that cold.

It certainly doesn’t look that difficult to walk up a path on a mountain in a single file line with warm clothing on
