Go-ahead for climb announced (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

assent

'go-ahead' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'climb announced' is the wordplay.
'climb' becomes 'ascent' (synonyms).
'announced' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'ascent' sounds like 'ASSENT'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for assent that I've seen before include "Expression of agreement" , "Agree and concur" , "Official sanction" , "Permit or approve" , "Agreement (to a proposal)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
