Ah thanks much for finding that info! Yup, that all sounds exactly correct, and that map is also right (the blue line being an alternate route that seemed to be chosen at random). Always roamed counter-clockwise too, along those two paths. I remember it being 8 hours, but I agree that it was probably really 7hrs with a +\- 1hr variance like you say.
This is such a minor thing, but for me, going into that cave and not knowing if the bear is up and then turning a corner and seeing the big guy walking toward you is SUCH an awesome classic feeling that I had to make a thread about it
