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 route that needs more than a little umph! Start from the base of the slanting chimney as for Mordor.
1) 20m, 6b. Climb up the left wall of the zawn for about 6m until opposite a collection of jugs. Head up a little further to place some runner above your head and then 'turbo-glide' (jump) across the zawn. Go around the overhanging arete and belay.
2) 45m, 5b. Pull over the roof at the easy left-hand side (Roof Rack, E7 tackles the right-hand side) and traverse right to a good crack. Climb up this, passing some dodgy rock in places. © Rockfax
