Ross

I believe the answer is:

riser

(Other definitions for riser that I've seen before include "Stair front" , "Upright part of step - vertical pipe" , "One on the way up" , "Vertical piece between two stair treads" , "Vertical piece between treads of staircase" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
