Mounting a revolt (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rising

This clue is a double definition.

'mounting' is the first definition.
('rise' can be a synonym of 'mount')

'a revolt' is the second definition.
(I know that revolt can be written as rising)

(Other definitions for rising that I've seen before include "In the ascendant" , "Upward rebellion?" , "Armed revolt against authority" , "Upwardly mobile" , "Moving upwards" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News and The Globe and Mail.
