Climbing around branch (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

limb

'branch' is the definition.
(I know that limb is a type of branch)

'climbing around' is the wordplay.
'around' indicates a hidden word.
'LIMB' is hidden within 'climbing'.

(Other definitions for limb that I've seen before include "Substantial branch from a tree trunk" , "Eg, arm, leg" , "Tentacle" , "Branch - member" , "as part of plane, say" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror and The Daily Express.
