Difficult to climb, perhaps (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

steep

(Other definitions for steep that I've seen before include "Soak; expensive (price)" , "Sheer, precipitous" , "Quickly rising" , "Without the bounds of moderation" , "Hard for cycling" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
