steep stairs
Sharply angled steps
Steep stairs rise at a sharp angle, making them more difficult or dangerous to climb and descend.
The phrase often appears in warnings or real estate listings: The attic is accessible only by steep stairs.
Steep stairs are common in older buildings, ships, and space-constrained architecture where a gentler grade isn't practical.
