Plezališče Kamnitnik je dobilo ime po hribu, v katerem se nahaja. V času Jugoslavije je bilo to vojaško območje, tako da sam pristop do sten ni bil možen. Tam je bila kasarna, ki je bila zgrajena med leti 1930 in 1932 v zaledju nove rapalske meje med Kraljevino Jugoslavijo in Italijo. Med drugo svetovno vojno so bili v njej Nemci, po njej pa vojaki JLA (jugoslovanska ljudska armada) do leta 1991, ko je vojašnico zasedla slovenska teritorialna obramba.
Kmalu za tem pa se je območje bivše vojašnice odprlo za javnost, večji del območja pa se je pričelo uporabljati v rekreativne namene.
Škofjeloški športni plezalci so tu uredili plezališče, ki poteka po navpični, do rahlo previsni monolitni steni iz konglomerata.
V plezališču je 38 krajših smeri, ki so primerne tako za začetnike, kot za tiste, ki imajo radi bolj težavne smeri.
Climbing Kamnitnik was named after the hill on which it is located. At the time of Yugoslavia, this was a military area, so the approach to walls wasn't possible. There was a barracks, which was built between 1930 and 1932 in the hinterland of a new rapallo border between the Kingdom of Yugoslavia and Italy. Germans were using it during World War II, after that soldiers of JNA (Yugoslav People's Army) until 1991, when the barracks was occupied by the Slovenian Territorial Defence.
Shortly afterwards the area of the former barracks opened to the public, and most of the area has begun to use for recreational purposes.
Climbers from Škofja Loka have arranged a climbing wall that runs along the vertical, to slightly overhanging wall of the monolithic conglomerate.
There are 38 short direction, which are suitable for both beginners and for those who like a more difficult direction.
