First woman, others in tow, to find Chomolungma (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

everest

'chomolungma' is the definition.
(I know that chomolungma can be written as Everest)

'first woman others in tow' is the wordplay.
'first woman' becomes 'Eve' (first woman in the bible).
'others' becomes 'rest' (I've seen this in another clue).
'in tow' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other) (some letters follow others).
'eve'+'rest'='EVEREST'

'to find' is the link.

(Other definitions for everest that I've seen before include "The highest mountain of all (7)" , "The world's highest mountain" , "Himalayan mount" , "Tallest mountain ..." , "One conquered in 1953" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
