Are tech heads on a sharp ridge? (5)
I believe the answer is:
arete
'a sharp ridge?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'are tech heads on' is the wordplay.
'tech heads' becomes 'te' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'are'+'te'='ARETE'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for arete that I've seen before include "Sharp ridge on mountain, with a tree" , "Narrow mountain ridge - eater (anag)" , "feature of range" , "part of mountain range" , "Glacial ridge" .)
