Why do gentle eruptions of lava produce gentle sided volcanoes?
Generally, when a volcano produces a gentle eruption the lava has a very low viscosity (it is very runny). This allows the lava to spread out quickly after it has exited the volcano but before it cools and hardens. This means that the lava will be able to spread further from the eruption site and thus gentle slopes are created. In a strong eruption, lava with a higher-viscosity is thrown out along with some rock fragments, this lava cannot flow as far away before it cools and so the volcano has steep slopes. Hope that helps!

Can you climb a volcano?
Yes. However, there are always risks of an eruption, or choking from natural gases released by the volcano in the crater. Stratovolcanoes often have unstable slopes as well, making for treacherous footing and the possibility of landslides, even if the volcano is dormant or extinct.
