I'm generally on the summit at dawn and am fight traffic all most of the way across the west side and down the switchbacks.
I have never done 2 MPH from the summit to Lower Trail Crest, where I get my gear together. From Trail Crest, I can average close to 3 MPH the rest of the way while moving. I will stop at Trailside Meadow for a head dunk and foot soak and maybe one other stop depending on how tried I tired I am. We are generally down around 1:30 to 3...depending on the number and length of stops. Then it's a shower and on to either the Bonanza or The Pizza Factory.
