Increases gained on the way to the top (5,2)
I believe the answer is:
steps up
'increases' is the definition.
(stepping up is a kind of increasing)
I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for steps up that I've seen before include "Accelerates" , "Approaches" .)
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
