1.5 to 2 hrs without killing yourself (assuming you're hill fit)

You'll be quicker going from south to north, than north to south. It's a bit of a slog out of KLL.

Aye, good plan. Devils staircase only takes about 30 minutes to [s]ride[/s] push up. The descent down the other side is rocking! ๐Ÿ˜€

This weekend past, the lift system at the White Corries Glencoe was closed for annual maintenance. I don't know the duration of the closure. It may be worthwhile finding out before you go.
