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 serious lead.
1) 6b, 20m. A powerful start leads to a jug then a sequence to another jug. Move up to make a long reach, or a dynamic move, to big holds to the ramp belay on Strike.
2) 6a 15m. A tricky start gains a flake on the right that leads powerfully to a big ledge. Follow the lichen-covered ramp leftwards and belay on the top of a flake. Finish up The Rift. © Rockfax
