Gets up the slopes (5)
I believe the answer is:
rises
This clue is a double definition.
'gets up' is the first definition.
('rise' can be a synonym of 'get up')
'the slopes' is the second definition.
(rise is a kind of slope)
(Other definitions for rises that I've seen before include "Ascends" , "Gets up" , "Moves upwards" , "Moves upward" , "Comes or goes upward" .)
