The term CLIMB (UP A POLE) can be solved by the six-letter word SHINNY. SHINNY is a game that is similar to hockey, but without the use of sticks. It is usually played on ice or on a hard surface, and involves players using their skates or shoes to move the puck around. The goal is to score by shooting the puck into the opposing team's goal. SHINNY is also used as a verb to describe the act of climbing up a pole or other vertical surface, using only one's hands and feet.
