Mountain

Mountain is a natural sign, and you have two ASL options. First, you can sign mountain like hill: take both flat, open hands and run them up an angle in unison, indicating the slope of a mountain. Otherwise, you can start both hands as fists side by side, then open and stretch them up at an angle in front of you, indicating the slope of a mountain with rocks or boulders.
