Doable. Start by 12:35 at the latest to be down by 17:15, keeping a 45 min margin before sunset at 18:00.
If you start at 08:00 you finish at 12:40, 5 h 20 min before dark (sunset 18:00). That is inside your finish limit.
Breakdown: 3 h 00 min walking, +1 h 00 min for ascent, +40 min rest.
Estimates only. Weather, snow, heat, trail condition, group size and fitness change real times, and Naismith’s rule is a rough guide. Leave earlier than the latest start, tell someone your plan and carry a light.
