The waterfall is known as Sour Milk Gill (high up and out of sight is its origin, Bleaberry Tarn). On the left of Sour Milk Gill is High Stile and on the right is Red Pike (Buttermere).
From Fellbarrow, across Crummock water the main fells are High Crags; High Stile; Red Pike and Mellbreak.
Left to right: lower slopes of Robinson leading onto High Snockrigg then down onto Rannerdale Knotts, jutting out into Crummock Water. In front of High Snockrigg you have the lower end of Whiteless Pike known as Whiteless Breast and in front of that you have the lower slopes of Grasmoor with Lanthwaite Wood at the bottom left hand of the photograph. The grey fell behind High Snockrigg (on the left) is Comb Head then after the dip it’s Glaramara. The darker fell in front is Fleetwith Pike then Brandreth; the triangular summit is Green Gable then Great Gable with its more rounded summit. Then Broad Crag and Kirk Fell. High Crag on the right with its slopes going down to Buttermere (lake) followed by High Stile and the lower slopes of Red Pike. Finally, Haystacks is the fell to the right if centre directly in front of Great Gable. Photograph taken from Low Fell.
This photograph, again from Low Fell shows a clearer view of High Stile and Red Pike with Mellbreak in the right corner.
