Steeply

The path ascends steeply from there.

The road ascends steeply from that point.

Food prices rise steeply every January.

The two characteristic Italian villages which slumber on its banks, and the equally Italian palazzo whose terraced gardens descend steeply to the lake, hardly break the stillness and even the solitariness of the scene.

The descent continues, still more steeply to Dundee (Tay Bridge), and approaching from the bridge itself this sharp descent gives the curious appearance that the station is below the level of the firth.

The station's style included two curved passenger walkways sweeping pierside and a steeply pitched verandah roof running along its inner side.
