Peak Index in a Mountain Array

Problem
Let's call an array arr a mountain if the following properties hold:
arr.length >= 3
There exists some i with 0 < i < arr.length - 1 such that:
arr[0] < arr[1] < ... arr[i-1] < arr[i]
arr[i] > arr[i+1] > ... > arr[arr.length - 1]
Given an integer array arr that is guaranteed to be a mountain, return any i such that arr[0] < arr[1] < ... arr[i - 1] < arr[i] > arr[i + 1] > ... > arr[arr.length - 1].
Brute Force Approach
var peakIndexInMountainArray = function(arr) {
let count =0;
for(let start=0; start < arr.length; start++){
if(arr[start] < arr[start+1]){
count+=1;
}
}
return count;
};
