The high point that exists only because there's a fall coming next.
means The top or highest point of something — a wave, a hill, a heraldic emblem, or a bird's tuft of feathers.
from From Latin 'crista,' meaning a tuft or plume — the comb on a rooster's head or the ridge of feathers crowning a bird. It traveled through Old French 'creste' into English, where it climbed from literal feathered crowns to the ridges of hills, the peaks of waves, and the proud emblems atop a knight's helmet.
