A stock X should have no problem with this trail. I ran it the other way with Mark back in June. I'd advise low range for running it the way WAMP is taking. Not too sure I'd make it up in the Freelander.

It's the Gold Valley trail in the books "Backcountry Adventures: Northern CA" and "Guide to Northern California Backroads" if anybody has a copy.

Pictures from our trek are here although some of the later ones are not from this trail. Unfortunately I didn't get pictures of the steeper portions, but nobody should have a problem.
