One hundred arms and legs — or shins? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

climbs

'shins?' is the definition.
(shinning is a kind of climbing)

'one hundred arms and legs' is the wordplay.
'one hundred' becomes 'C' (Roman numeral).
'arms and legs' becomes 'limbs' (your limbs are your arms and legs).
'c'+'limbs'='CLIMBS'

'or' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for climbs that I've seen before include "Goes up" , "Ascends with difficulty" , "Advances" , "Ascends a hill or ladder" , "Moves upward slowly" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
