Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Use dmy dates Шаблон:Use Irish English Шаблон:Infobox mountain Corcogemore (Шаблон:Irish place name)[1] at Шаблон:Convert, is the 208th–highest peak in Ireland on the Arderin scale,[2] and the 253rd–highest peak on the Vandeleur-Lynam scale.[3][4] Corcogemore is located on a small massif that includes Binn Mhór (Шаблон:Convert), and Mullach Glas (Шаблон:Convert);[5] this massif is situated at the far southeastern sector of the long north-west to south-east central spine of the Maumturks mountain range in the Connemara National Park in County Galway, Ireland.[4] Corcogemore is the 8th-highest peak in the Maumturks range, and the most southerly in the range; after Lackavrea, Corcogemore is the 2nd-most easterly Maumturk.[4][6]
Naming
Шаблон:Lang-ga is the Irish name for a "beehive", although it can also mean cone (the shape of a traditional beehive).[1]
Cartographer Tim Robinson noted that "the Ordnance Survey has been incorrectly calling this mountain 'Leckavrea' for a hundred and fifty years", with Leckavrea (Шаблон:Lang-ga) being a mountain to the east of Corcogemore.[1]
Geography
Corcogemore lies on a small massif in the southeast sector of the Maumturks range, which is separated from the main range by a deep east-west mountain pass called Máméan, a site of pilgrimage dedicated to Saint Patrick since the 5th-century.[6][7][8]
To the west, along a high winding ridge across this massif is Mullach Glas Шаблон:Convert, and then Binn Mhór Шаблон:Convert.[5]
To the east of Corcogemore, apart from the massif and across the R336 road, which runs through the pass of Шаблон:Lang-ga, is the isolated Maumturk peak of Lackavrea Шаблон:Convert.[1][5]
Hill walking
The most straightforward route to the summit Corcogemore is the 5-kilometre 2-3 hour roundtrip route from the R336 road, just after Maam Cross, and back; however, because of its positioning on a high ridge of its own small massif, it can also be climbed as an alternative 10-kilometre 4–5 hour route from Corcogemore in the west, across Mullach Glas, to the summit of Binn Mhór, and then finishing down at Máméan (i.e. the route requires two cars).[5]
Corcogemore is also climbed as part of the Maamturks Challenge, a 25-kilometre 10–12 hour walk over the full Maumturks range (from Maam Cross to Leenaun), which is considered one of the "great classic ridge-walks of Ireland",[6][9] but of "extreme grade" due to the circa 7,600 feet of total ascent.[5] Since 1975, the University College Galway Mountaineering Club has run the annual "Maamturks Challenge Walk" (MCW),[10] and mans a checkpoint on Corcogemore, which is the first major checkpoint on the Maumturks range.[11][12]
