Moves upward or toward the top of something, usually using your hands and feet, like climbing a ladder, tree, or mountain.
From Old English 'climban,' possibly related to Old English 'clam' meaning 'mud' or 'clay,' with the sense of 'clinging.' The word has described upward movement for over 1,500 years.
Humans are terrible climbers compared to other mammals—we need tools and training, but we have the unique advantage of being able to plan the most difficult climbs, which is why humans have reached every peak on Earth!
