Place for climber to fix a rope in tricky ascent (6)
I believe the answer is:
stance
'place for climber to fix a rope' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'tricky ascent' is the wordplay.
'tricky' is an anagram indicator.
'ascent' is an anagram of 'STANCE'.
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for stance that I've seen before include "Pose, for a golfer say" , "Attitude (of body, mind)" , "Posture; viewpoint" , "driver preparing to strike" , "Player's posture for making, say, golf stroke" .)
