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
Sustained and pumpy to place the gear! Start just left of the deep Bloody Chimney, below a slabby corner.
1) 4c, 23m. Climb the corner to vegetated rock above a ledge. Move up and left to find a vague groove up the left side of the vegetation - take care here. Continue up to where the slab narrows and then move back right to belay in the corner below the impressive crack.
2) 6a, 43m. Climb the crack, trending left then up to a pod. Continue past a poor peg - loose flake. Step right to gain the continuation crack which leads to the top. There may be a fixed abseil point. © Rockfax

βeta: The main pitch is 25m rather than 43m per the Ground Up - but it sure feels 43m… | βeta? | |
