Nothing missed in current access points for mountains (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

andes

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'for mountains' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'nothing missed in current access points' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'points' could be 'es' (two compass points) and 'es' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'and' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for andes that I've seen before include "Major mountain range" , "South American mountains" , "South American mountain system" , "Mountains for the Danes, oddly" , "Danes seen in mountains" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
