Fine; steep (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sheer

This clue is a double definition.

'fine' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'steep' is the second definition.
(similar in meaning)

(Other definitions for sheer that I've seen before include "Outright" , "Precipitous or fine" , "Very fine or vertical" , "Utter - precipitous" , "Simple" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
