Silver Cord is very rarely in the condition that you see in this video. It can be extremely dangerous due to the water melting out a runnel in the middle of it. There have been a number of tragic deaths in recent years and access is fragile. If you do choose to go do this climb please make safe decisions in regards to conditions and dont leave anything behind. We rapped on threads because the ice was too wet for a naked a-thread and we didnt think to bring extra screws to fix anchors. All threads were cleaned on the way out and we left nothing behind.
Video of Ian Bailey and I climbing the Silver Cord in Yellowstone National Park on April 21st, 2018. We skied in and rapped from the canyon rim. The climb was in great shape and consisted of 3 perfect full length pitches of WI4. The ice climbing was great but an uncrowded and still snowy Yellowstone NP made it even better.
All filming was done with a Sony RX-100 M1, an iPhone 6, and a terrible Chinese knock off go-pro.
The song is "Making it All Up" by Orphan drug and it can be found here:
