The Baliwood Headwall is more open and larger than the Hollywood wall to the South. It has many options for entry, there is the main, East facing shot on the very top, and then more South facing choices as you follow the ridge down towards the East. These more or less all come together in the middle of the line above a 3 or 4 South facing squiggle chutes. Depending on snow level, these should all go through. As you come out into the wide open bowl, take notice of the huge rock spire free standing on the North side of the lower bowl. It is easy to get here from going North out of Frazier, or skinning up the East ridge between Gnarnia Bowl and The Sietz Slidepath.
Difficulty
Severe
