Is there a typo in 32A? - the word "of" doesn't seem to serve any purpose

The print version also has "on Eiger's face".

Can anyone explain the wordplay of 6dn please?

It's hidden in "undraped one" less letters in "padrone" Also hidden in reverse "employed undraped"
Not the best of clues in my view

The dash at the start of the clue is important.
Nude padrone is an anagram of undraped one. Undraped is also a definition of nude. An excellent clue, in my view.
