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 easiest route out of this zawn, and although friable it is a reasonable escape route. Start at the right-hand end of the wall below the long flake/crack-line and follow it to the top. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
The escape route, or alternatively sneak out a tunnel at the back of parliment house cave and scramble up the otherside
