We have studied the effect of geometrical frustration on the antiferromagnetic order in the Yb-based triangular lattice compound YbCuGe below T-N = 4.2 K by the measurements of magnetization and specific heat under hydrostatic and uniaxial pressures. By applying hydrostatic pressure P up to 1.34 GPa, T-N hardly changes. By contrast, T-N increases as P is applied along the hexagonal a axis, while T-N decreases by the application of P along the c axis. The increase of T-N only for P||a suggests the release of the frustration inherent in the triangular lattice of Yb ions of this compound.
