Abstract
A system for spreading tension at a rope connection point on a structure is provided. The system comprises a connection mechanism configured to receive a rope. The system also comprises a fastening mechanism configured to couple the connection mechanism to the structure at the rope connection point. The rope is configured to enter the connection mechanism at an inlet point and exit the connection mechanism at an outlet point, such that a tension applied to the rope is spread between the inlet point and the outlet point.
