Anything with chains will get you just about up anything.

Default CA is a stickler for chains. They have 3 different snow condition requirements.
R1 - Chains required unless 4WD or Snow Tires
R2 - Chains required or 4WD with Snow Tires must carry chains
R3 - Chains mandatory...no matter if 4WD or Snow Tires
