Colin Egan bagged Yewbarrow on March 23rd, 2015 [from/via/route] Ascent from car park halfway along Wastwater, up via Great Door [with] My wife Faith and son Peter [weather] Cloud above 2500ft, wind chill at summit near freezing, strong westerly winds, some sun at times. - A challenging climb, helped by the presence and guidance of Peter, training as a mountain leader. Wainwright's original route straight up to Great Door somewhat diluted by a newer path that takes the walker to the left of the straight climb. Easier but less dramatic.
