Funny phrase for "mountain guide" (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sherpa

'mountain guide' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'funny phrase' is the wordplay.
'funny' is an anagram indicator.
'phrase' anagrammed gives 'SHERPA'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for sherpa that I've seen before include "High-up employee" , "Skilled mountaineer of the Himalayas" , "Member of the Himalayan people famous for their skill as mountaineers" , "Mountain dweller" , "mountaineer, maybe" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
