It's the wind.

Brush your teeth, and shower more often!

Seriously though it’s your clutch, take it a little easy on the rpm’s…

Time for a new clutch if it's not grabbing as it should be.

Sounds like you need a clutch, or need some more practice working the clutch/picking the right gear for the hill. Not sure on your manual driving history, so don't take offense...
