Nymph in rock poster? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oread

'nymph' is the definition.
(I know that Oread is a type of Greek nymph)

'rock poster?' is the wordplay.
'rock' becomes 'ore' (ores are found in rocks).
'poster?' becomes 'ad' (short for advert).
'ore'+'ad'='OREAD'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for oread that I've seen before include "Maid of the Mountains" , "O dear, a strange mountain nymph" , "Natural spirit" , "mountainous girl" , "spirit at peak?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
