I don't think so.
• Uphill/downhill right-of-way only applies on steep roads where it's too narrow for two vehicles to pass.
• The vehicle facing downhill must back up to make room for the vehicle facing uphill.
"
When 2 vehicles meet on a steep road where neither vehicle can pass, the vehicle facing downhill must yield the right-of-way by backing up until the vehicle going uphill can pass. The vehicle facing downhill has the greater amount of control when backing up the hill." — California Driver Handbook
