I'd definitely get all the summertime mistresses. Getting them won't take long and simply having them will both make what little remaining time to farm drops that you have much more efficient and will (after limit breaking) provide you with an eventual 5 star CE to use after the event. Since you aren't exactly whaling to randomly have a bunch of kaleidoscope and fragments of 2030, event CEs are very good and will help you advance faster.

Don't worry about the mountain so much though if you do want to do it, I'd go for Jack rather than grailed shiki. Make a point of looking through lists and finding strong people to friend, specifically those with servants that will help you farm. Like when looking at the cave, try looking for people with Arjuna (survivability plus not being weak to anything there other than the berserkers), Brynhildr (also survivability and is a lancer to fight the archer boss), or Artoria lancer (all around good lancer vs archer boss) that have the pirate party CE. Getting friends who have both the appropriate class and CE are indispensable for a new (or unlucky) player who doesn't have the right servants or CEs and will save you tons of time and effort.

Oh, also, if you put on the brilliant summer mystic code and are having trouble, take it off. Put on the regular Chaldea mystic code. It is much, much stronger.

Just try to get yourself adjusted during this event and use those summertime mistresses to farm all the exp cards you can plus any particularly difficult to get drops. For example, you have Tamamo lancer and Mordred rider. Tamamo lancer needs immature warhorse horns which you should just obtain by doing drops in the plains or whatever it is called (the place that drops stone) if you can. And Mordred Rider needs 16 medal of great knight which are literally only obtainable in Camelot (the 6th main campaign after Fuyuki so very far away) and in some events. So supposing you want to be able to use your rider Mordred rather than her getting stuck, you should also prioritize getting those drops here while you can.
