In contrast to most mountains of the Blue Ridge, Old Rag has an exposed ( rocky ) summit.

Old Rag Mountain is underlain by Old Rag Granite, named for its ubiquitous exposure on the mountain, formed during the Grenville Orogeny about a billion years ago.

Approximately 700 million years after the Greenville Orogeny, the Iapetus Ocean began to close resulting in the Alleghenian Orogeny when the Old Rag Granite and layers of rock deposited upon it where transported westward and eventually thrust up over the limestone bed around it, forming Old Rag and the Blue Ridge Mountains.

He describes how the " Old Man of the Mountain " ( Sabbah ) would drug his young followers with hashish, lead them to a " paradise ", and then claim that only he had the means to allow for their return.

( However, this story is disputed due to the fact that Sabbah died in 1124 and Sinan, who is frequently known as the " Old Man of the Mountain ", died in 1192.
