vertiginous

Causing a sensation of dizziness. / Extremely steep or high.
Adjective

Vertiginous is a formal, sophisticated term. While "dizzy" is the common word for a spinning sensation, "vertiginous" is typically reserved for written descriptions or high-register speech, often evoking a more intense, overwhelming feeling of instability.

When describing physical structures, it does not just mean "high," but specifically high enough to cause a feeling of vertigo or a fear of falling. It emphasizes the psychological effect of the height on the observer rather than just the measurement of the object.

In a metaphorical sense, it can describe a rate of change or a rise in value that is so rapid it feels disorienting, such as a vertiginous rise in stock prices. This usage highlights the shock or instability caused by extreme speed or scale.
