Very steep (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sheer

'very steep' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for sheer that I've seen before include "Completely" , "Very thin; unmitigated" , "Mere" , "Downright - deviation" , "transparent fabric" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times, The Independent, the Sydney Morning Herald, the Universal and The Mirror.
