Someone helping Everest's reconnoitrers planning ascent, primarily? (6)
I believe the answer is:
sherpa
'someone helping everest's reconnoitrers planning ascent primarily?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'someone helping everest's reconnoitrers planning ascent primarily?' is the wordplay.
'primarily?' says to take the initial letters (I've seen 'primarily' mean this).
The first letters of 'someone helping everests reconnoitrers planning ascent' is 'SHERPA'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sherpa that I've seen before include "- - Tensing" , "Himalayan dweller" , "Mountain dweller" , "mountaineer, maybe" , "one to climb mountains maybe" .)
