Flera parallella ryggar korsar sluttningen i de höga bergen vid Handcar Peak i British Columbia, Kanada. Dessa ryggar är hak med brant lutning in mot sluttningen. En undersökning av ett hak genomfördes. Huvudsyftet med undersökningen var att undersöka sedimenten i svackan mellan haket och sluttningen och presentera en möjlig förklaring till dess uppkomst. Därför grävdes en skärning i svackan, upp Several parallel linear ridges run perpendicular to the slope direction in the high-altitude mountain of Handcar Peak, British Columbia, Canada. The ridges have scarps facing the hillside. An investigation of one of the anti-slope scarps was made.
