Stay tuned to the SoCal section then cause I plan on going a little more frequently. Word of caution though, a STOCK Jeep can make it up there, BUT I have seen two moderatly built Jeeps (better than mine) shread their front driveshaft boots, and a WELL built Jeep shatter their axle U-Joints (sorry Ty). The blown axle was on a pretty serious and difficult off-shoot. That is the great thing about up there, you can always find something to challenge you depending on your experience and Jeep build.

2.5 or bigger rigs with a automatic more then likely will tare there boot when you flex or overflex if you can get a spacers for the skid or mod the skid could help you keep your boot in tack .
