Here's another forgotten TR from 2007.  Mark Weeks and I planned to take 4 days to climb Star Peak plus Courtney and Oval.  We drove over to Twisp the first day and hiked to Star Lake via Buttermilk Creek to set up base camp.  The next day we hiked back up to Fisher Pass then did the easy scramble to Courtney.  From there it was one long talus slog up and over Buttermilk Ridge.  From Buttermilk there is no easy way to get to the ridge that connect to Oval.  We ended up downclimbing all the way to a lake basin then climbing the scree slopes up Oval.  Thunderclouds were beginning to gather while we were on the summit of Oval (8795') so we didn't spend much time up there.  We hiked back down to the lake, saw some bear prints, and made the long trek back to camp.  It took about 10 hours to make that loop.  I'm sure there's an easier way — at least there's one described in "Summit Routes" by Scott Stephenson and Brian Bongiovanni.  I wouldn't recommend the route described by Peggy Goldman.  She fails to address the killer Class 5 downclimb from Buttermilk down to Oval's flank.  The rain came in the night, erasing our opportunity to climb Star Peak.  Here are the pictures, which I unfortunately reduced so you only get an idea of the grandeur of the area.  The USGS map is Oval Peak.
