Asian or Alpine rocks (6)
I believe the answer is:
nepali
'asian' is the definition.
(I know that Nepali is a type of asian)
'alpine rocks' is the wordplay.
'rocks' indicates anagramming the letters.
'alpine' anagrammed gives 'NEPALI'.
'or' is the link.
(Other definitions for nepali that I've seen before include "One from Katmandu" , "Mountain-dweller" , "Kathmandu native" , "one found in mountainous region" , "Native of a mountainous Hindu kingdom" .)
