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 wall left of Energy Crisis. Powerful climbing, long reaches and a difficult exit from the top of the first pitch. Protection is just about adequate. Start beneath the left-hand of two wide cracks left of The Ramp.
1) 5b, 28m. Climb up to a spike as for Afreet Street. Tackle thin slabs on the left then go up a vague crack until level with the a roof (usually a fixed thread) - many slings required. Make a hard move right and climb sloping ledges rightwards until you can go up a crack/groove to gain the belay on The Ramp.
2) 5a, 25m. Finish up The Ramp P2. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
Not the normal style of climbing, blobs for holds and not much kit. Good cam just before the insitu tat, which doesnt look that good.
