Now I am sure you will be out on Day 2! The MR is a shorter trip. I took a group up there a few years back and we camped just east of UBSL. We easily summited and then packed out in the same day. You could camp 2 nights at UBSL, then head out in time for breakfast at the Portal Store.

You would have plenty of time to get back to LAX if you leave the Portal about noon.
