Be careful with sharp bend radii. They add a stress concentration to the rope as it goes around the bend, significantly reducing its strength.

Knots, for example, typically reduce the strength to one half, and there, the radius is the rope's.

Also, these things look heavier than the standard eye bolts, weight matters, just reminding you.
