Crossword Genius

Youngster clambering about (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lamb

'youngster' is the definition.
(a lamb is a young sheep)

'clambering about' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates a hidden word.
'LAMB' can be found hidden inside 'clambering'.

(Other definitions for lamb that I've seen before include "Young sheep" , "Tender sheep meat" , "Young creature" , "Young shee" , "Young ovine" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
