Description of the route by the creator

An afternoon outing to take in the view, with a fast ascent (2 hours) and a descent combining fast walking and trail running (a good hour). Great weather, sunny and warm Mind you, there wasn't necessarily a connection on the whole route, including some exposed areas, so I'd say around 5 hours for a more leisurely person.
