I found this phrase in a book I'm reading. The translation on this site is "(he/she) has gone up" seems awkward in English. Would a better translation be "has come up"? The context is someone on the phone telling someone that a visitor is coming to see him.

Gracias por su ayuda.

"He is on the way up", is how I would say it in English.

Something more literally translated might be "He has left to come up." This uses the leave/abandon context of the verb dejar.
