It's probably about time for someone to bring up the Aspen
approach again. Be a little high and/or fast there, and you
won't get down in time to land. ---JRC---


I haven't flown that approach, but I've studied the approach
plate. The stepdown fixes aren't that much - you don't have to
hurry, because there isn't that much altitude change. The big
change is the final descent, after the stepdown fixes, and if
you get too low or a little off course, you'll land much more
quickly than you intended.
