Hi everyone
A quick post just for anyone searching for this information. We decided to have a tiny adventure and go to Silverminor, accessed from below Silvermine Main Crag. The path is indeed very vague to non-existent, we did try accessing it from the ledge up above, but it seemed not very sensible risking falling a couple meters down. We got as close as we could, but were finally stopped by a big blister bush which we elected to take as a sign to withdraw. What we could see was indeed rusted anchors at the top of one of the climbs, and belay stations very over grown. The other bolts look shiny.
So we gave up on our tiny adventure, anyone else more intrepid I recommend long pants, don't fall off the ledges but rather look for the overgrown stairs and bundu bash and then walk carefully to the belay. I'm posting this because I couldn't find anything more up to date about Silverminor, has anyone else gone there recently?

Re: Silverminor
yup it's very overgrown but you can access the crag safely, heading down and then left from the base of Sterling Silver. Since SANPs won't, it's up to climbers to clear and maintain the path. Silverminor is a nice addition to Main Crag; hope it sees more traffic.
