Some mountainous place to climb? (4)
I believe the answer is:
alps
'some mountainous place to climb?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.
'some mountainous place to climb?' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some of the parts of the word are used).
'to climb?' says the letters should be written in reverse (I've seen 'to climb' mean this).
'spla' is hidden within 'mountainous place'.
'spla' backwards is 'ALPS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for alps that I've seen before include "& 11 their highest peak" , "Peaks" , "Pals seen in mountains" , "European mountain chain" , "Eur. mountain range" .)
