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 lower part of the arete on the left of Heroin is split by three short grooves. This climb goes up the centre groove, then up a crack in the wall above. Start from the Heroin bay, scramble up and belay below the groove.
1) 5c, 45m. Climb the groove on the left via a hard start and follow it an overlap. Then step round left to climb the wide crack, which is followed to a good stance. The initial hard moves can be avoided by climbing the left-hand groove until it joins the original route.
2) 20m. Traverse right across the grassy ledge to a spike often slung with a rope.
3) 35m. As for Nightride P4. © Rockfax
