The included photos are my entries in the summit registers, with the view toward the West serving as the background in both cases. He Devil can be made out behind the She Devil register. Hells Canyon serves as the backdrop for my He Devil register photo.

Rough splits, rounded to nearest 5min:
2h30m - Peak of lesser summit "Baal"
3h00m - Peak of She Devil
3h45m - He/She Col
4h50m - Peak of He Devil
5h50m - Goat Pass Inbound
7h18m - Return to CG

My SPOT device was claiming low battery, so I turned it on only for the start (20m before I actually left), each summit, and the return from Sheep Lake. The gaps in verification will have to come from the GPX.

I think this route can go under 5h with an athlete who's more familiar with routefinding in the area and more vertically fit. It may already have. Posting here will at least get the discussion started. There is a pair of trip reports that suggest the late Edward Earl may have had a 7h round-trip (https://www.peakbagger.com/climber/ascent.aspx?aid=4336https://www.peakbagger.com/climber/ascent.aspx?aid=145318) but details are minimal and possibly ambiguous: the reports claim no round-trip time and round the ascent and descent to the nearest hour. Other than this, no claims of times faster than 8h45m were turned up by a web search or trip reports on summit post and peakbagger.com.
