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 complex route with a great feel and character up a chimney under the arch. Start as for Genuflex.
1) 4a, 15m. Move right around the corner and step across the foot of the chimney. Climb the steep wall until it is possible to move across into the chimney under the overhangs. Good stance and belay.
2) 5b, 20m. Climb down for 3m then diagonally left across to the arete and a poor stance.
3) 4c, 15m. Climb the wall, move right and over a bulge to easy ground. © Rockfax
