rocky slopes

Rocky slopes are inclined terrain characterized by exposed rock, boulders, or stone debris rather than soil or vegetation.
The term appears frequently in descriptions of mountain environments, hiking conditions, and habitat types: The trail crosses several rocky slopes before reaching the summit.
