Colly's pyramid is a distinctive feature in the area SW of the reeks. It lies between the Ballaghisheen Pass and the Glenbeigh Hills and offers fine views due to this position. The spine of the Iveragh hills from Mullaghanattin to Knocknagantee offers itself up to close inspection as does the SW aspect of the reeks as well as Broaghnabinnia.

W. Start from the collection of multi-coloured farm buildings in Coomaspeara V63627 80982 A where it's 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 the ridge is reached turn right for the summit. Less than 1hr.

SE. An alternative ascent can be made by parking at Ballaghisheen Gap V67079 79137 B. Head over the twin tops of Knocknagapple, aiming first for Colly East before swinging west for C. The going is good underfoot and should take 1.25 hrs.
In both the above cases the best return is by the route of ascent. An alternative descent to get back to the Ballaghisheen Pass would be to drop to Collybeg and head steeply downhill SE along the forest edge from here to V65019 78297 C. Then walk up the road to the start. This walk can also be reversed for an alternative ascent.

NW. Colly can also be reached as a detour off the Glenbeigh horseshoe. It should take around 40 mins from Meenteog.
