This clue might be a double definition.

'tribesman' is the first definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see an association between them that I don't see?

'wandering uphill?' is the second definition.
'nomad' can be an answer for 'wandering' (I've seen this before). I am not certain of the 'uphill?' bit.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for nomad that I've seen before include "Person wandering" , "someone who can't settle" , "One travels from place to place with no permanent home" , "Member of travelling people" , "Unsettled type" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
