It's ice on the peak, you fool! (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

blockhead

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

'fool' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'it's ice on the peak' is the wordplay.
'it's ice on' becomes 'block' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'the peak' becomes 'head' (head is a kind of peak).
'block'+'head'='BLOCKHEAD'

'you' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for blockhead that I've seen before include "Stupid person" , "Dolt" .)
