Most climbers require about four days to ascend Mount Everest from Base Camp. The fastest ascent from the north side is held by Hans Kammerlander of Italy and took him 16 hours and 45 minutes from Base Camp. The fastest ascent from the South took just under 11 hours and was accomplished by Lakba Gelu Sherpa. Babu Chiri Sherpa, who was at the summit for 21.5 hours, holds the record for the most time spent on top of Everest. However, people typically spend about an hour at the top on average. http://people.howstuffworks.com/mount-everest2.htm

Much longer than it takes to get down.

Just the climbing doesn't take that long but the traveling to get there, the walking to base camp, the setting up of the route, the acclimating, all that takes weeks.
