A couple of our customers have attached the ratline fitting (not sure of the term for this) to our line terminators that were strategically placed on the end of the shroud at a specific height above the deck. This make an easy bolting or seizing platform. Remember Dyneema hates compression, hence the large bending radii needed. Compression impact on the line strength is certainly relative to the loading of the shroud and the amount of compression induced. I certainly wouldn't clamp anything to it and if you are seizing it make sure to spread the load out well.
