I do wonder about the mentality and motivations behind such comments. You don't need to try to convince anybody that you have balls ... I assume you do. Why bother with such an area ? Leave Lindfield alone.

The bolts at Lindfield are almost invisible and certainly not visible to rangers or walkers. The only area that really needs TR bolts is the Overhang. The bolts here can't even be seen by climbers, without a scramble up the back to the top ... not something rangers would ever do. It has fairly easy routes but a fall could easily mean death, even with a good mat. Other routes can be TR'd easily without bolts if the climber feels the need.
