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
Features some great open face climbing on pitch 2. Start at the foot of the left-hand of three cracks.
1) 5c, 30m. Climb steeply up the flared crack then head off rightwards, avoiding the big crack. Climb the wall to its right to gain a small sloping ledge with a couple of rotting pegs.
2) 5c, 40m. Go up the wall left of the belay and move up and left through a steep section (peg), then move right to big footholds. Head back left to the base of the wall with a thin crack (spikes). The wall is steep, but small sharp holds allow progress to a point where a span out left gains the sloping left arete. Climbing direct up the wall is much harder and reachy (6a ). A sloping ledge is reached and the cracks above lead directly to two large spikes below the final crack of P3.
3) 5a, 40m. Race up the fine left-hand crack to the top. © Rockfax
