Cry of outraged hikers? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

shriek

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'cry' is the definition.
(shriek is a kind of cry)

'outraged hikers?' is the wordplay.
'hikers' can be anagrammed to 'SHRIEK'.
But, I'm not sure how this is indicated.

'of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for shriek that I've seen before include "Scream or squeal" , "Shrill cry of a shrike" , "Utter high-pitched cry" , "Yell, screech" , "Hikers (anag.)" .)
