Seals breed in Parliament House cave during the autumn months and climbers should take particular care not to disturb them during the time from late August to late October when the young seal pups can be eailsiy sepreated from their mothers with devastating consequences.

A large (huge!) rockfall occured at the back of Parliement House Cave in 2017 which affects some of the routes in the cave and further rockfalls are likley! 

Fantastic climbing with adequate protection and the most-climbed way up the steep right arete of the wall. Follow The Sarah Green Start to Blue Peter to the junction with the latter and arrange protection. Follow an obvious series of overlaps out leftwards passing some small wires until it is possible to pull around onto the edge of the wall. Either continue directly up the arete, or move right to a large foothold which provides some respite before tricky moves lead straight up past a break to easier ground on the traverse of The Bells, The Bells! The wall above is climbed with more tricky moves past a crucial small wire placement and continues with sustained climbing to the top. Andy Pollitt and A Hughes 20/5/88. Originally given E8. Second ascent by Paul Pritchard. Has had numerous on-sight ascents.
