You start at 360 KIAS and end around 225 KIAS and about 15,000 higher than when
you started. It takes about 60-70 seconds.

Smokes my kite. It would take me about 10 minutes to climb to
15,000 ft. but since there's no structure around me to provide any
sense of security whatsoever, the ride up is equally as exhilarating!
