i am not fast, as my times will demonstrate. genetic testing has proven that i am built for stamina, not speed.

multiple trips manker to summit - 3.5 hrs + / - w/o stops. add 30 mins + / - for stops.

north rim to south rim - 12 hrs 58 mins - includes 2 hrs 19 mins stoppage time for pix, lunch, watering, cool off.

imho there's no way to compare the two hikes. if you're training for rim to rim, think long hikes in heat.

R2R in 7.
R2R2R in 15:30.
Ski hut to summit, a bit under 2.

Edit...Manker to summit via ski hut: a bit over 2.

If you're good for 7 hours on your feet with plenty of elevation change, you'll be fine.
