Some how. missed this post?your question. The answer really depends on if you have a capable 4X4. From the Wright lake turn off, where I started, the hike/climb is fairly short, took me 5 hours AND that included making this video while moving at a normal pace and knowing the way. I would take a helmet, there are at least 2 places where you're climbing on loose class 3 and the way down on the standard route has some exposure to rock fall from others in there will likely be others. . . With 2WD add about 4 miles RT and something like 1000ft more gain, certainly 14er.com will give you exact stats. Cheers!
