Yewbarrow. A 'fell' of character.

A closer look at this impressive fell bordering Wast Water. At 628 metres (just over 2000ft) high and in shape resembling the upturned hull of a boat or a barrow it certainly is impressive, especially looking at it a bit closer as here.
As in most landscape photos, light is essential in bringing out the form and displaying each cliff and crag. We can also discern bracken. This is a favourite tough climb with steep crags at either end providing a good challenge for most walkers.
Geoogy: The summit is formed from the tuff, lapilli-tuff and breccia of the Lingmell Formation. The eastern slopes display the rhyolitic rocks of the Long Top Member and Crinkle Member. The crags on the western face are outcrops of the plagioclase-phyric andesite lavas of the Birker Fell Formation. (Wiki)
