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!
The immaculate orange face left of Achilles. Sustained climbing in the upper part. Start as for Diogenes.
1.10m. As for Diogenes, pitch 1.
2.40m. 6b/c. Climb the slabby face left of Achilles, then bear right till beside the big flake on that route. Move left and up a groove to an overhang, then break back right to a rest spot.
