have your grap on the y-axis represents the height, and the x-axis represents the time.

when she goes down, draw a line going down according to the time and the elevation, and the line will go up when she goes up with the time given.

for the total time will be 5min down, 5 min up, and 15min for every 200ft down(fr.600ft), add them all together.

goodluck
