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! 

Rockfax Description
A reasonable line up through an impressively steep section of rock. Start below a pinnacle that marks the start of the ramp.
1) 5a, 30m. A demanding pitch. Climb up the pinnacle and step right onto a ledge. Climb the corner and continue up the slab to some spikes on the left at the top of the ramp. Move over to the left to belay below the steep final corner.
2) 5a, 25m. Tackle the corner via the crack to where you can make a blind reach rightwards into the base of the bottomless chimney, which leads more easily to the top. © Rockfax
