38:30 or so from the very bottom of the railroad ties. Hoping to smash that this summer as I train for my first ascent!

Tim Bergsten..I did it in 29:24 when I was 48 in 2007, but I started timing at the point where the parking lot trail meets the track. I think most people time themselves from the Barr Trail parking lot. The parking lot trail takes me three minutes at a normal pace, so I added and came up with 32:24. I haven't come close to this time since then. Maybe this year! (Hey, I can dream can't I?)
