Indeed, it was reckless and not very smart. Though, here's what I think was going through her mind:


 * Ozpin said "The tower cannot fall", and Cinder went up to the top of the tower, having defeated Ozpin. If Pyrrha and Jaune left, there would be no one there to do anything about Cinder being in the tower, considering everyone was being evacuated from Beacon.


 * Ozpin told Pyrrha to get Glynda, Ironwood, and/or Qrow. Jaune said he had Glynda's number in his Scroll.


 * Remember that Pyrrha outright told Jaune to go call for help. She likely meant Glynda, not Weiss.

So, basically, Pyrrha felt that she needed to stall for time to keep the tower safe until Jaune could get Glynda, and possibly Ironwood and Qrow, to arrive and help. Though, obviously, they likely wouldn't have arrived in time either, especially since Ruby was a lot closer than they were and had a speed Semblance, and even she didn't make it in time.

That said, if Glynda, Ironwood, and Qrow had worked as a team, they likely would've been able to push their way through the Grimm faster than Ruby and Weiss did, and Qrow could've turned into a crow and flown up to the top of the tower to fight Cinder. Maybe Glynda could've done something with her telekinesis Semblance to help her get to the top as well. If Ironwood brought an airship, even a small one, he could've also been of help.

Pyrrha's plan was reckless and poorly thought-out, but she did have an idea in her head when she went to fight Cinder. Most likely, her objective was not to win the fight, but rather to stall Cinder so the tower would not be destroyed before help arrived.
