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
The combination of two routes. Start at the base of the slabby corner as for Run Fast, Run Free.
1) 4c, 25m. Climb the slabby corner to a vegetated section above a ledge. Move up and left to find a vague groove up the left side of the vegetation - take care here. Continue to belay below twin cracks. It is easy to link into the next pitch if desired.
2) 4c, 10m. Climb the twin cracks to a ledge. Belay here or move left to below the corner.
3) 5a, 20m. Climb the corner to the top. Scramble up and right to gain the descent path. © Rockfax
