[pct-l] Word issue

[ned at pacificcrestcustombuilders.com]

For those of us who remember or still have hiking boots that had around the 
circumference of the upper a padded collar, that structure is called a 
"scree collar" to keep out all the little rocks or "scree".

Talus, as in fields of talus, are boulder to house-sized rocks commonly 
found in large slides or fields on mountain slopes.
