Thanks, Mark, I've actually seen it rigged the way you mention, and figured that's what I'd end up doing also.
<br>But, if that's the right location for the lead block, maybe there's a better location for the line itself, for instance, another block to send the line through the tunnel across the tramp, where the jib wires are. Then the cleating system wouldn't be hidden in the front beam, but it would give other options.
