Ascent in 1:13:02. Topped out just after the sun went below the horizon. Perfect weather. Took the down moderate, last half of it was with a headlamp. Round trip in 2:00:22. Thanks to Jeret for putting up a stout time, had major doubts that I was even going to be close until the last little traverse over to the true summit.

Will be interesting to try in spring snow conditions since I think it'll make the boulder section and loose sand sections much faster.

Maybe add a round trip variation to Mt St Helens? Not sure why it doesn't have one already.
