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
This is a combination of the first pitch of Fifth Avenue and immaculate upper crack of a route called Tequila Sunrise.
1) 5c, 30m. As for Fifth Avenue to the first spike on the left halfway along the upper ramp.
2) 5c, 20m. The splitter crack in the right wall is almost too enticing not to climb. Gain the crack and do battle with sustained jamming moves to reach some good spikes on the arete. Now follow thin cracks just in from the edge of the buttress to belay by cracks just before the crag turns into a steep hillside.
3) 15m. Scramble out up the hillside. Remain roped up and treat it as a pitch until above the boulders. © Rockfax
