climbed
KLYMD/klaɪmd/
- 1Simple past and past participle of climb.
Temperatures climbed steadily through the afternoon.
By nightfall the team had climbed above the clouds.
Note
One regular spelling does double duty: the -ed ending serves both the simple past (she climbed the ridge) and the participle after have (she has climbed it). Because climb works with or without an object, so does this form. Prices climbed takes none, while the team climbed the north face takes one. Only the object-taking uses can turn passive: a route is climbed, but a temperature never is.
