Climb up (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

scale

mount

'climb up' is the definition.
(I know that scale is a more specific form of climb up)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for scale that I've seen before include "Climb - balance" , "See 23" , "Climb; flake of skin" , "Ratio of, say, map to reality" , "Group of notes in ascending or descending order" .)

I've seen this clue in the King Feature Syndicate, the Evening Standard, The Telegraph, the Newsday, The Mirror and The Times.
