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! 

53m, 2 pitches. Traverse as for Diogenes for 20m to obvious bay to belay. Route climbs directly up to and takes finger crack above (the right hand one). The obvious crack left of Diogenes. Start as for Diogenes.
1.10m. As for Diogenes, pitch 1.
2.40m. 5c. Climb the crack to a big flake at 17m. From its top make hard moves tup the crack, a strenuous finale leads to the last moves of Diogenes.
