Mount Corkscrew

Mount Corkscrew is a mountain and geographic oddity on the border of the Soviet District and the Void District. At 57 m tall it is Quotro's third highest peak and the tallest in both districts, although the summit is within the Soviet District. The mountain is a hybrid of both beta 1.8 and pre-beta 1.8 generation and includes the highest point generated in the old style pre-beta 1.8.
== Description ==
Mount Corkscrew is a prominent peak. The south face is a tall cliff with a prominent overhang whereas the north approach connects with a mountain range that extends to Dragon Bay, the west and east approaches are moderately steep. The boundary of pre and post beta 1.8 approximately follows the border between the Soviet and Void districts and runs straight through the highest portion of the peak. The two terrain generation styles fit together relatively seamlessly which led to the longstanding misconception that the entire mountain was generate pre-beta 1.8. Investigation in November 2022 revealed that the mountain was in fact generated in two stages.
The highest points on the mountain on the overhang extending to the southeast. The highest point is at the eastern extremity of the overhang, from here the overhang continues back towards the north returning to old style generation and the Void district. Although three metres short of the terrain in Soviet, the highest portion of this terrain is both the highest point in the Void district and all pre-beta 1.8 generation. The name of the peak was given due to the unique way the terrain overhangs from one district to another and then back again. It also leads to an unusual situation where the Void district's highest point is only accessible by land through another district.
== Infrastructure ==
Mount Corkscrew is part of the Moscow metro area. The Corkscrew Tunnel carries the M4 Motorway through the mountain on the Void side and Old Pass Road travels over the mountain near the summit. A large house on the Soviet side near the summit is the only building on the mountain, it is accessible only from the Void side via Old Pass Road.
