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
A good combination which is less sustained than The Strand, however the crux is short lived and technically harder. Start as for The Strand.
1) 5b, 30m. Climb up and right towards the crack of The Strand for about 6m. Move out left on good holds to below a bulge. Pull up right into the crack which leads to a belay on top of a large flake.
2) 5b, 25m. Move up and right along a rampline - harder than it appears. Eventually a short crack leads up from the ramp to a fixed belay on a small ledge, as for The Strand. Abseil off. © Rockfax
UKC Logbook Description
5b/c. Starting The Strand, break off left through the lichen, belaying at the flake, before following the clean ramp to finish at the slab at the top of The Strand.

βeta: The description above and in the new RF guide is incorrect for the first pitch. What’s described is actually the first pitch of Mayfair ( which might be a shocker if you were expecting a 5b ). Instead it should say ; At the bulge move left and follow the wide left facing flake to the stance. | βeta? | |

βeta: Watch out for quite a few loose flakes on pitch one, and as part of the jugs before trending left to the ledge. Seem OK, but would not take much to pull out. | βeta? | |
