MountainViews.ie Picture about mountain Colly in area Glenbeigh Horseshoe, Ireland

Picture: Colly from Coomaspeara

Easy ascent, fine views

Short Summary created by Peter Walker 6 Apr 2013 Colly's pyramid is an interesting offshoot/addendum to the classic Glenbeigh Horseshoe route, offering one of the easier ascents of a significant hill within the Iveragh interior. Start from the collection of multi-coloured farm buildings in Coomaspeara 637810 (Point A) where it should be possible to park with permission. From here a conspicuous track zig-zags eastwards up the hill to around 500m, a short distance from the summit ridge: once this is reached turn right for the summit with its very fine prospects both west to the sea and east to the Reeks and Mullaghanattin/Stumpa Duloigh.

An alternative ascent can be made from Ballaghisheen Gap to the south-east 671791 (Point B), over the twin tops of Knocknagapple. In both cases the best return is by the route of ascent. In addition, it could be taken in as a detour from the Glenbeigh Horseshoe.

Point A: V637 810

Point B: V671 791
