This might be a double definition.

'climbing' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'atlantic isle' is the second definition.
'ascension' can be an answer for 'isle' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'atlantic' bit.

'into' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ascension that I've seen before include "religious feast" , "distance in hours measured by this, right?" , "Canonise on the way up to heaven" , "Canonises on Christ's way to heaven" , "Island in the South Atlantic" .)
