Corcogemore Mountain Corcóg A name in Irish
(Ir. Corcóg [TR], 'cone' or 'beehive') Galway County In Arderin, Vandeleur-Lynam Lists

Height: 609m OS 1:50k Mapsheet: 45 Grid Reference: L95259 49147 This summit has been logged as climbed by 153 members
I have climbed this summit: NO (You need to be a logged-in member to change this.)

Longitude: -9.578451, Latitude: 53.482079 Prominence: 221m,   Isolation: 1.1km
ITM: 495234 749165,   GPS IDs, 6 char: Corcog, 10 char: Corcog

As Tim Robinson points out, the Ordnance Survey has been incorrectly calling this mountain 'Leckavrea' for a hundred and fifty years. Leckavrea (Ir. Leic Aimhréidh) is the mountain to the E on the other side of Mám Aodha.   Corcóg is the 257th highest summit in Ireland. Corcóg is the most southerly summit and also the second most easterly in the Maamturks area.

Picture: The view west from the summit.		  
by csd  23 Feb 2010 I parked at L97358 47989 (Point A), taking care not to block access to the gate off the R336 Maam Cross - Maam road. There's space for one or two cars here. I headed northwest, pretty much in a straight line towards the summit. Boggy at first, the terrain becomes increasingly steep until you get to within a kilometre or so of the summit, whereupon you have to scale the walls of what just might be a corrie. Up top, the terrain changes from bog to the typical Maamturks/Twelve Bens summit carpet of rock. The clouds lifted momentarily, enabling me to take this shot across to Mullach Glas and Binn Mor.
If you're planning on heading for these peaks, I'd recommend aiming first for L948 497 (Point B), before heading west.
Point A: L97358 47989 Point B: L948 497

Picture: Water(doesn't)fall
by wicklore  28 Feb 2010 Corcogemore appears to have provided many interesting and ‘just happened to be there’ photo opportunities – csd’s photo of the cloud inversion, bryanmccabe’s snap of a curiously coloured Corcogemore from Lackavrea, and Colin Murphy’s shot of a rain-induced torrent of water. My contribution to this stock of curious photos is the attached picture which shows one of these torrents frozen in mid flow. It may even be the same waterfall as shown in Colin Murphy’s picture. Cute as it looked it still provided a hazardous obstacle to be negotiated. I discovered the best approach was to back off and find a way around!

by CaptainVertigo  4 Sep 2011 I am a little biased here because I have a great love for the Maamturks, and I also have a mad notion that video is a medium through which our beautiful places can be especially revealed. The knowledge that Martin and Sharron, gifted filmmakers, had crossed the Turks had me drooling in anticipation and I was not dissappointed. This is a compulsory movie for anyone who hopes to do the traverse or part of it, or who has already been there. It was a two day journey with a night under the stars at Maumean. The light on the first day was quite extraordinary and Martin and Sharron exploited the opportunities provided to brilliant effect. Day Two was more cloudy brooding and moody. But the total effect so beautifully filmed shows the sparkling West- quartzite, lakes and huge skies- to magnificient effect.

Picture: A rainy day on Corcogemore		  
by colin murphy  2 Nov 2009 Corcogemore was our first stop on a 4-top trek towards Binn Mhor, using paulromanvaas's suggested starting point of the layby north of Lake Maumee. Unfortunately we could barely see an arm's length for the entire day, but the rain did bring the minor compensation of multiple waterfalls as seen in pic
