Bert and Ernie is a bouldering area on Bureau of Land Management land in Idaho's Shoshone Field Office, about 4.5 miles from the town of Bellevue. The climbing is all bouldering, with five routes spread across the area, and the highest grade among them is V5. The most comfortable months for a visit are typically June and September, when typical averages from a nearby weather station in Bellevue run from highs around 77°F to 76°F and lows from 47°F to 45°F. That station sits about 1,500 feet lower than the boulders, so temperatures up high run cooler. The closest neighbors are Rock Creek (Croy) Bouldering, about 0.2 miles away, and Big Nose and Willy Wonka's Dynamic Fist, each about 0.4 miles off. For a walk, the Croy Creek Trail is about 2.5 miles away.
