The engine works hard and produces a lot more heat than when the car is driven on a leveled road. The car is usually driven slower on the uphill and there isn't as much air cooling the radiator.
But the main reason it overheats is that the cooling system is malfunctioning.

Turning the heat on would actually lower the engine temperature. It's a well known trick if your car starts to overheat.
