Bert's Butt is a V6 YDS 7A Font boulder, 14 ft (4 m) located in Telluride/Norwo > Telluride Bould > Ilium Boulders > Premier. First ascent by Bert Perry. Start crouched with hands matched on the lowest undercling. Establish feet on the wall and bump to the next undercling. Match and make a difficult move (or series of moves) to get to the obvious, chalked jug. From the jug, move up and left to another large jug/shelf and then upwards to an easy top out. It's hard to say what the crux move is. It seems different for different people. No matter what, it's a lot of powerful moves in a row. The move to the second good shelf can be a bit of a heartbreaker, especially on the flash burn, since it's not as straightforward as it seems. I won't spoil the fun of figuring it out! Protection: This is located in the middle of the overhang on the west face of the boulder. Begin on the underclings deep in the back of the overhang.
