It's a bit of a step (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

riser

'it's a bit of a step' is the definition.
('riser' is part of 'step')

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for riser that I've seen before include "One who has stopped sleeping" , "Upwardly mobile type" , "Bit of a step up?" , "Person getting out of bed" , "Vertical piece between stair steps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
