Where to go up (5)

I believe the answer is:

north

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'up' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for north that I've seen before include "Boreal; South's opposite" , "Prime Minister" , "Magnetic or true?" , "Pole" , "Former PM" .)
