Climbing and access information for this peak is on Page 103 of the book.
Smith Mountain is the southernmost Seven Devils summit to top 8,000 feet. The summit has a Forest Service Lookout which is available for emergency use. USGS Purgatory Saddle
Access is via Black Lake Road. A road leaves Black Lake Road and climbs to the summit in 0.7 miles with 360 feet of elevation gain. The road is not in good shape and you will need a 4WD with good off-road tires. Hey, if you are reading this you are a hiker and the road is a great trail. As with most fire lookouts, the views from the summit are amazing. Class 1.
