Abstract
Systems for guiding line(s) including blocks through which the line(s) run. The blocks can include inner and outer guides with line running through both the inner and outer guides. The guides may include rollers, and an inner guide may be at least partially nested within an outer guide. The systems may be configured so that at least one of the blocks can move when the line moves and so that the first block and second block create tension in the line.
