Going up a track (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ascent

'going up' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'a track' is the wordplay.
'track' becomes 'scent'.
'a'+'scent'='ASCENT'

(Other definitions for ascent that I've seen before include "Stance (anag)" , "The climbing of a peak" , "Upward journey" , "A climb or way up" , "Mountain path" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
