She often gets high and performs her party piece (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sherpa

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

'she often gets high' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'performs her party piece' is the wordplay.
'piece' indicates a hidden word.
'SHERPA' is hidden within 'performs her party'.

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for sherpa that I've seen before include "Mountain dweller" , "Such as Tensing_Norgay" , "Nepalese mountaineer" , "Native Himalayan mountain climber" , "High-up employee" .)
