Okey, here is a guide that show how u can make a nice mountains with triangle-method.

1 Make your mountains http://er4o.org/gallery/c320765a3d2d1a306cd9b52c7951a91c.JPG
Now the mountains look good be they are flat at the top http://er4o.org/gallery/78ce84fc54eb5434bd89dd32015c70eb.JPG
So we will make the upper part of the mountains to look like this http://er4o.org/gallery/d56ecbaec05787afcb2feaf95d64fb21.JPG

2 For this method we are going to use the triangle-method.1st make a brush and cut it on 16 small triangles. http://er4o.org/gallery/061d5090d8486dd2cbb8b3e3ba434da4.JPG
After that selects all 16 triangles and selects vertex tool (shift+v) and try to make those triangles like peaks http://er4o.org/gallery/2c114774fb49568660e64006618c2eb9.JPG

3 When you finish those peaks you must put them on the mountains http://er4o.org/gallery/5a949c46c22e45330ce571cdcd452f0a.JPG
Now this looks weird so we need to fix it selects the peaks and vertex tool.Selects with vertex tool those points you need to fix by holding ctrl.
Until you don`t receve smth like this http://er4o.org/gallery/d378d37edb6a6ff01e05373326e9f709.JPG

4 Now there is one last thing we need to do copy those mountains and scale them to 3/4/5 put cool jumps some nice atmosphere and submit at XJ :D

5 This is what i made with those mountains http://er4o.org/gallery/29adda1bad6d2a10db03af268066f50a.JPG

Well done! I'll use this tutorial if i decide to start mapping :)

It's a good way, but it's also good to remember that those cliffs are pretty buggy to walk on so be sure not to make any jumps on them. I also hope you didn't make wallbugs on the first step!

how do we connect 2 copied mountains? i don't get that.

Edit: a year later...now i understand. The tutorial isn't explicit enough, i guess.
