The sharp stones found at the bottom of rocky outcrops where freeze thaw weathering is happening
A loose, unstable rock pile at the base of a slope or cliff; talus
small unconsolidated rocks or gravel, fist-size or smaller, located mostly below rock ridges and cliffs
eroded rocky substances from mountain-sides.
Norse "skridha", landslide] Small loose stones covering a slope. example
Slope of unstable, rocky fragments, retaining little moisture, at the bottom of a cliff. In gardens, a deep layer of stone chippings with a small proportion of loam, providing very sharp drainage for alpines and rock plants.
a sloping mass of loose rocks at the base of a cliff
a triangular shaped area of debris that has fallen from rocks near the top of a mountain
A rock pile in the mountains at the base of a cliff or slope.
Small, loose rocks that gather on a slope and often at the bases of cliffs.
an accumulation of fragmented rock waste below a cliff or rock face, formed as a result of weathering. The rock waste typically forms a fan shaped scree slope with a concave slope. It is devoid of vegetation.
sloping loose rock debris, usually at the base of a cliff face.
A sloping mass of smallish rock fragments that have detached from the cliff you are about to climb and now lay strewn around the base. Don't think too long or too hard about this. Smaller than talus, it somewhat complicates your approach to the route.
small rocks that slide under the climber's feet.
Piled-up small rocks sometimes found at the base of cliffs, escarpments, or bluffs
Loose, broken rock that climbers can never avoid.
loose small rocks and coarse sand that form fans below cliffs and gullies larger rock scree is usually easier to ascend smaller rock scree is often easier and fun to descend
Gravel-size loose rock debris, especially on a steep slope or at the base of a cliff, formed as a result of disintegration largely by weathering.
a sheet of coarse rock debris covering a mountain slope without an adjacent cliff.
An accumulation of stones or rocky debris lying on a slope or at the base of a hill or cliff.
small loose rocks; difficult to ascend, like climbing a slope of loose sand
Small, loose pebbles that dot certain landscapes and make hiking up to a route pure hell. Many climbers like to "scree ski" when hiking back from a route.
Small loose rocks that gather on the slope at the base of a cliff.
a teep amss of loose rocky fragments lying at the base of a cliff or on the side of a mountain. [AHDOS
Scree or detritic cone is a term given to broken rock that appears at the bottom of crags, mountain cliffs or valley shoulders. The maximum inclination of such deposits corresponds to the angle of repose of the mean debris size.
