登

dēng

to scale (a height)

to ascend; to mount; to publish or record; to enter (e.g. in a register); to press down with the foot; to step or tread on; to put on (shoes or trousers) (dialect); to be gathered and taken to the threshing ground (old)

climbing feet (癶) + vessel (豆) = to ascend

癶 depicts two feet stepping outward and upward, capturing the act of climbing. 豆 mainly contributes the sound dēng; the climbing feet carry the meaning.
