We’ll start by describing what volcanic scree is and how it forms over time, creating a challenging surface for hikers. You’ll learn about essential safety measures such as digging your toes into the slope, sidestepping, and testing each step to maintain balance. We’ll also cover how natural features like larger rocks and hardy vegetation can serve as stability points. If you’re descending, we’ll show you proper techniques like kicking your heels into the slope and leaning back to prevent slipping. Using trekking poles for extra support is highly recommended, and sticking to established trails can make your hike safer. When hiking with others, maintaining proper spacing and warning signs like shouting “Rock!” can prevent accidents. Wearing protective gear such as gaiters and long sleeves helps minimize injuries. If a fall occurs, learning how to perform a self-arrest can stop a slide effectively. Practicing these skills on easier terrain builds confidence for more difficult volcanic slopes.
