Climb a weighing device (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scale

This could be a double definition.

'climb a weighing' is the first definition.
'scale' can be an answer for 'climb' (scaling is a kind of climbing). I am not sure about the 'a weighing' bit.

'device' is the second definition.
(scale is a kind of device)

(Other definitions for scale that I've seen before include "Plate protecting the skin of fish and reptiles" , "Notes < magnitude" , "Group of notes in ascending or descending order" , "Relative extent as of laces" , "Graduated table" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
