Then descend back down the way you came.

FAQ:
Mt Lemmon is one big hill - will I make the checkpoints on time?

Answer: The control at the summit is not timed, so the only time that matters is the total time to complete the ride. You'll need to average about 10 mph for the climb and descent in order to make the closing time.
