I want to get to the top of the mountain, do I need equipment for that or I can just walk because I was reading in one part of the website that it was talking about bring equipment like gears and things like that.

The Stone Mountain Loop trail will take you to the summit. Total distance is about 4.5 miles.

The ropes/gear is referring to mountain climbing up the mountain. It's the most fun way to go, but there's also a hiking trail that'll get you there. One route is shorter but pretty difficult, and the other route is uphill but not bad.

You can walk ... take water ...

Its was a relaxing hike for me and we'll worth it

You can walk there
