COMMENTS
A pyramid in a Dyck path is a subpath of the form U^k D^k with k>=1 (U=upstep, D=downstep). The longest pyramid is indicated by lowercase letters in the Dyck path UUDuuudddDUD and it has size 3.

FORMULA
Generating function for column k>=1 is F[k]-F[k-1] where F[k]:=(1 + x^(k+1) - ((1 + x^(k+1))^2 - 4*x)^(1/2))/(2*x).

a(3,2)=2 because the Dyck 3-paths whose longest pyramid has size 2 are
UUDDUD, UDUUDD.
