Rocky peak split rushing water (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

torrent

'rushing water' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'rocky peak split' is the wordplay.
'rocky peak' becomes 'tor' (I've seen this before).
'split' becomes 'rent' ('rent' can be a synonym of 'split').
'tor'+'rent'='TORRENT'

(Other definitions for torrent that I've seen before include "Turbulent stream of water" , "A rushing stream of water" , "Heavy stream" , "'Flood, downpour (7)'" , "Overwhelming deluge" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
