  'over' idle?

    Stalling  from just over idle is not the same as slipping when pulling the
    vehicle up a slope. Your clutch is definitely slipping.
    Could be  a worn thin driven plate, or overall wear on clutch, or mal
    adjusted clutch, or even a temporary problem due to ingress of an oil spill,
    which could clear itself as oil burns away...
