The Mountain (also known as the reverse fold) is the second fundamental Origami fold. It is the complete opposite of the Valley fold. What makes it different is that you fold the paper outwards, creating a “M” or mountain-like crease. Mountain folds are represented by dots “••••••••” on Origami diagrams.
