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! 

73m, 2 pitches.

Rockfax Description
The series of grooves in the back of the bay are unfortunately grassy and often damp. Scramble up to the base of the groove.
1) 4b, 17m. The groove leads to a good stance.
2) 4c, 13m. Climb the overhanging crack to the next belay.
3) 5b, 35m. Climb the overhanging groove until the angle eases below an overhang. Turn this on the left and go up to belay on the ledge above.
4) Scramble off leftwards. © Rockfax

UKC Logbook Description
Climbs the right corner of shag rock. Better to do the first two pitches together then the top pitch on one log run out. Not as bad as the guide suggests. Main pitch is good fun
