The term as used in my part of the world encompasses more than that.
Stones up to a couple of inches in size and shale slopes also qualify.
Shale slopes containing material an inch or so in thickness and up to
eight inches in length are a real bitch to climb.  

There is a famous scree slope just outside Canmore, Alberta that is mostly
fine rock.  It's famous because it's such a delight to descend.  All who
try it rave about it.
