I was on the trail by 6:55. Hiking with a group meant it took 2 hours to summit. The final approach includes a challenging and occasionally slippery grade, so you need poles to easily get up and down. That said, the reviews in AllTrails made it sound much worse than it was. I passed a troop of 40ish people including well over a dozen boyscouts around middle school age, all of whom summited. It's challenging but pleasant and the views were beautiful. I would not do this later in the day as it is mostly exposed and hot by 10.
