Crossword Genius

Pals out of range (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

alps

'range' is the definition.
(mountain range)

'pals out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'pals' anagrammed gives 'ALPS'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for alps that I've seen before include "high points" , "Swiss mountains" , "High mountains" , "European mountain range" , "South-central European mountain system" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express and The Mirror.
