Injured climber, a top becoming tricky (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

problematic

'tricky' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'injured climber a top' is the wordplay.
'injured' is an anagram indicator.
'climber'+'a'+'top'='climberatop'
'climberatop' anagrammed gives 'PROBLEMATIC'.

'becoming' is the link.

(Other definitions for problematic that I've seen before include "Baffling" , "Troublesome" , "Difficult; doubtful" , "Presenting difficulties" , "tricky" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
