Strange man in tedious climb here? (12)
I believe the answer is:
mountainside
'climb here?' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both natural objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's an association between them I don't understand?
'strange man in tedious' is the wordplay.
'strange' is an anagram indicator.
'man'+'in'+'tedious'='manintedious'
'manintedious' with letters rearranged gives 'MOUNTAINSIDE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for mountainside that I've seen before include "Incline" , "where many adventurous explorers go?" , "It isn't flat" , "Big hill slope" , "One's inclined" .)
