The feel is good...accuracy wise (if you're concerned with that as well..)
isn't the tree in a deep pit? Not sure how you suggest there is one from the perspective you're using...but if you can, it would be cool.

the hyperbole is a beauty...for we are then allowed to say a little more than the truth...and language is more efficient when it goes beyond reality than when it stops short of it.

Covenant, Linden and Co. climbed the steep sided flanks of the island all the way to the summit before decending a spiral ramp set on the inside of the peak which led back down to the innards of the island.
h of b's island's summit is not shown, but you can see how narrow it is becoming. That's very much like the Island of the One Tree: They decended in total darkness, and only when the Sun passed directly overhead did any light penetrate to the bottom where the One Tree grew. And the light was short lived, as the shadow of the Island's summit crept quickly across the ground.
Anyway, what I'm trying to say is that I think h of b's island is a darn good representation of the Island of the One Tree. Bleak, desolate, rocky and precipitous.

I for one never imagined the isle being so tall and spikey. From the text, it seems like it has sloping sides, but not steeply sloping sides, and isn't so very tall. (The Quest had trouble climing it due to it being so boulder-strewn, but there's no mention of climbing any steep faces.) And it would be more flat at the top, where the hole would be.
Also, I get the impression that the sides are so rocky that the area immediately around the island would be dotted with rocks thrusting from the water, becoming more dense as you got closer. Shore isn't so much a beach as a place where the rocks got so dense that there was no more water.
