It divided into 2 sections, respectively bouldering area and rock climbing area. In order to train the students from Tibet Mountaineering School in November of 2000, the three coaches of French Mountain & Rock Climbing Association opened this rock climbing training field next to Sera Monastery on the north of Lhasa. There are hundreds of granite stones from the mid-level of the mountain up, where there are hundreds of routes for bouldering. However, the ground under the stones is uneven, it is more difficult for the climber to protect themselves. The Rock climbing lines are also very rich.
