I'm short and I think I found I had to step across onto the glued up rock in order to clip the first bolt when the tree was there. I must admit I wasn't too happy stepping on to the glue but reconciled it with knowing the rope over the tree would keep me off the deck. I wouldn't want to commit too much to that glued hold with the security of the tree as a runner.
