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 good climb if clean. The first pitch is a bold E4 and the top pitch is a stunning E5. Start as for Central Park.
1) 5c, 30m. Climb Central Park to below a thin crack directly below P2 of Central Park. Climb the crack boldly to the shared belay.
2) 6a, 34m. Make a thin crack move up and left just to the left of the groove of Street Survivor. Initially the climbing is bold but soon becomes well protected. Carry on up the crack to near the top. Don't top out but go left to the top of The Strand. Abseil off. © Rockfax
