[pct-l] Rock Pass washout (WA section L)?

[Tom Grundy]

Thanks for the info on transport and such around Stevens Pass.  Another
question:

what's the latest scoop on the washout(s) north of Rock Pass?  Would you
recommend the detour for a couple of semi-timid hikers with an
(over?)active sense of self-preservation?

Here's the route of the detour we got from one narrative description:

Looks like the detour is something around 20 miles, and bypasses 13.8 miles
or so of PCT, so it adds 6-8 miles?

Are there any other detours / alternates around there?  Any opinions on how
nice that detour is?

Thanks in advance.
