Dickerman-Forgotten traverse beta?

[Noodle]

Has anyone here attempted this? I'm looking for any info on difficulties encountered, time taken, gear, etc.

 

I tried this last year and didn't get very far. We stayed too high on the ridge off of Dickerman, and by then getting lower involved some rock bands that took a lot of time to navigate. So we realized there was no way we'd make it that day, and had to climb back up to Dickerman through nasty down-sloping slide alder.

 

I'd like to try again, maybe bring a rope along and try to stay on the ridge as much as possible. Descending way down towards Buck Creek feels like cheating.

Come on, I know someone out there has done this!

maybe they called it forgotten for a reason?

Heh, that's a possibility. I really like the area though. I took a day recently to just do some laid back hiking, chose Stillaguamish and had a great time!
