I-Beam,

Are you talking about the Geringer Grade section? I did that part of
Jawbone last year in a Subaru Outback. It was very sandy at one sharp
curve near the top, that was the tricky part. If you did stop there it
would be a fairly short walk to PCT. That's probably been graded since
then. Many years ago I drove that bit in a 2wd pickup. I think you'll be
OK. Good luck.
