Description
Sheit Bird Alley is a technical double-drop rapid with a challenging entry and a trashy, boulder-strewn exit that demands precise boat control and line selection. Paddlers must navigate a tight initial drop followed by a complex lower section with potential pin and entrapment hazards, requiring careful scouting and a clean, aggressive approach to successfully thread between irregular rocks and recirculating features.
