text: Monday morning 1/5/15, 50 yrs old, partner moderately good shape, temperature 68 degrees, two bottles of water, oatmeal breakfast and coffee, up to the top in about 40 minutes and back in 30 with 20 minutes at the top.  Cliff bars would have been nice as we started bonking at the end.   Parking not a problem on the weekday mornings, at least for us.  Surprised at the number of people and the diversity in physical ability.  Lots of teenagers and Don't take your dog.  Totally enjoyable and the views are worth the pain and yes, slightly anerobic exertion at the top where the rocks are daunting but doable. The trip down can rack the knees and while good boots are nice to have, tennis shoes are fine.  Well maintained and more enjoyable than anticipated given the location.
