Note 1 — VOLUME VI SLICE V Clervaux to Cockade (continued 3)
Reading edition
The word “climb” (O.E. climban), meaning strictly to ascend (or similarly descend) by progressive self-impulsion, with some apparent degree of laborious effort and by means of contact with the surface traversed, is connected with the same root as in “cleave” and “cling.” For Alpine climbing, &c., see Mountaineering.
