Sportsperson physically flexible and cold at the top (7)
I believe the answer is:
climber
'sportsperson physically' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.
'flexible and cold at the top' is the wordplay.
'flexible' becomes 'limber' (similar in meaning).
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'at the top' says to take the initial letters.
The initial letter of 'cold' is 'c'.
'limber' put after 'c' is 'CLIMBER'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for climber that I've seen before include "Bonnington" , "in the garden" , "Edward Whymper, for example" , "Mountaineer" , "Plant such as ivy" .)
