Nice mountain to add, though the page could use some fleshing out. Another good route is to hike from Bald Mountain Reservoir to Curecanti Pass area and ascend the south ridge, though this does involve a very loose section. Ascending (or descending) the west ridge via Lone Pine Trail is probably feasible as well.
Also, be warned that when I was there, the Smith Fork Road was in very bad shape, terribly deep ruts and lots of rocks. My old Subaru wagon made it with a struggle, but I definitely needed every inch of clearance. A sedan could have had real trouble.

Re: Another approachThanks I will add that. I had thought that was an option but had never tried it
