He's got a steep face (5)
I believe the answer is:
cliff
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'he's' is the first definition.
'a steep face' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'got' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for cliff that I've seen before include "-- Richard, singer" , "Precipice" , "High, steep rock face" , "A sheer rock-face" , "stony face?" .)
