Not IME. The tendrils reach out, almost smooth and straight
with a
small curve at the tip, until the tip touches something then
corkscrews around it. The corkscrewing action shortens the tendril
pulling the pea stem towards the stick support.
Glad you said that: I was beginning to feel as thick as one of
Steve's peas, as mine have always seemed to get the hang of climbing.
