I can't imagine that this clause alone amounts to a ban on climbing, as long as you didn't remove, mark, damage or deface the rock. Certainly you can walk on rocks without breaking this by-law so you should be able to climb as long as you do it nicely. The except as provided in management plan obviously is to be read in conjunction with the phrases above and does not ban all activities not explicitly mention in the plan.
