These almost vertically tilted strata are the quartzite of the Port Stanley Formation (Devonian). Wikipedia says: "Quartzite is very resistant to chemical weathering and often forms ridges and resistant hilltops. The nearly pure silica content of the rock provides little material for soil; therefore, the quartzite ridges are often bare or covered only with a very thin layer of soil and little (if any) vegetation."
