One of the most dangerously undercut runs falling off of Waldens Ridge.
From Mark Cumnock:
Soddy Creek
Soddy Creek can be run when the
Chick is high, BUT BEWARE it is probably the most dangerous run on the Ridge; it seems everything is undercut. Even the fun rapids have penalty points, and the mentality on the this run is “not if, but when.” Soddy can also be run VERY LOW--the undercuts are more exposed, but when others aren’t running this one will be. If it looks boney at the take out, you can still run it. A strong group with rescue skills is needed for this run. You need more that a throw bag to be safe. I always liked a strong group that you could count on. This is a good one to be in the mindset where it’s okay to walk some, get the run dialed in first then come back. Memorizing the lines on this one is very helpful. Did I mention it was undercut? Think Fist on the Russell Fork, and you get the idea.
