Ben Lomond has a craggy summit which appears conical when viewed from the nearby Arrochar Alps range.
The mountain comprises two parallel south-southeasterly ridges: the Sròn Aonaich ridge to the east and the Ptarmigan ridge to the west.
North of the summit these ridges come together and lead to a 456 metres (1,496 ft) col with Cruin a' Bheinn, a Graham.
The summit is grassy and rocky and is marked by a triangulation pillar
Ben Lomond's geology is dominated by granite, mica schist, diorite, porphyry and quartzite.
Ben Lomond lies on the Scottish watershed, the drainage divide which separates river systems that flow to the east from those that flow to the west.
