I'm thinking this is one of the trickiest approaches I've seen.
I'm guessing the hill at the Temple is about 400 feet above the valley floor.
At a normal 300 feet per mile this puts the descent rate a bit high for a straight in, over the hill final.
I did a little Google Earth mapping and used the threshold to the 1,000 foot target on the runway to make a scale.
Either way, at over 200 feet per second you close the distance in a hurry.
