That is "The road wound up the bluff in a sires of steep switchbacks"

Your two examples have different meanings. A road that 'winds" has many curves and bends. To "wind up" speech means to come to an end.

When it comes to a road or path, the verb is "to wind".
That means there are a lot of twists and curves in the road along the way.
The direction is literally the direction from your point of view.
If I were at the top and looked down, I would be seeing a path or road winding downward on the bluff. Winding in a downward or upward direction. Up a hill. Down a hill.
