No downs could possibly be mountainous! (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

snowdon

'mountainous' is the definition.

'no downs could possibly' is the wordplay.
'could possibly' indicates an anagram.
'no'+'downs'='nodowns'
'nodowns' with letters rearranged gives 'SNOWDON'.

'be' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for snowdon that I've seen before include "Welsh mountain" , "Highest mountain in Wales" , "High spot in Wales" , "Highest Welsh peak" , "Highest peak in Wales" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
