I think they might understand this consideration, as they have said 'protected primarily or exclusively using fixed anchors' rather than simply 'protected using fixed anchors'.

"– The establishment or maintenance of routes that are protected primarily or exclusively using fxed anchors (i.e. ‘sport’ climbs) is prohibited;"

Sensible walk offs can exist to get back to the base, or sometimes cliffs are able accessed from the top, rap in on gear, climb out (like Pt Perp).
