Do yourself a favor and don't use the tree that is right at the cliff edge as an anchor. If you build an anchor off the further back tree and extend the anchor with the climbing rope (see pic)you will be able to have a high master point right at your head. This enables you to see the climber and have a nice seat.

My GF in 1991. Married in 1993. Three kids later and we're still married :) I figured the hanging belay on Horseman would impress her. It didn't.

Yelled greetings from the carriage road can be quite distracting on this route.
