Did the Mailbox Peak/ Dirtyface Peak / Dirty Harry's Peak Traverse Loop. Started by going up to Mailbox Peak via the old trail.
Traversing from Mailbox to Dirtyface was relatively easy, only a few spots where I had to stop and figure out where to go. Probably class 2.
Dirtyface to Dirty Harry's was fairly difficult, especially as it was snowing/raining. Route finding is required at a few areas, when I went off the narrow ridge in order to find an easier way across. Closer to Dirty Harry's there were two probably low class 4 sections, but in the summer it would probably be high class 3.
After summiting Dirty Harry's I took the trail down, and walked Grouse Ridge road and past the Fire Training Academy back to the Mailbox Peak trailhead for a total of 12.5 miles and 5000 feet gain.
It's a great little loop, and would definitely recommend it in the summer till late fall! My Strava link is posted below.

Nice loop in "fun" conditions! Note the middle peak you climbed is commonly called "Dirtybox". Dirtyface is a different mountain, near Lake Wenatchee.
