Unorthodox climbers might fall thus (3,3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

off the wall

This clue is a double definition.

'unorthodox' is the first definition.

'climbers might fall thus' is the second definition.
(how people on a climbing wall might fall off)

(Other definitions for off the wall that I've seen before include "Peeling wallpaper" , "How Alf left (anag) -- very unconventional" , "Humpty Dumpty's downfall was so" , "American eccentric" , "Implausible" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
