Woman going up the wall? (3)
I believe the answer is:
ivy
'woman' is the definition.
(woman's name)
I cannot understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for ivy that I've seen before include "Hedera helix" , "The Hedera genus of evergreen climbers" , "Woody climber" , "Poisonous plant" , "Clinging vine" .)
