craggiest
Most ruggedly steep
Craggiest is the superlative form of craggy, meaning having the most crags—steep, rugged, projecting rocks.
It typically describes landscapes: the craggiest peaks in the range.
Applied to faces, it suggests deeply lined, weathered features with prominent bone structure: His was the craggiest face she'd ever seen.
