Default Ratchet blocks

Mark,
I am also at the age where the hand over hand system is a bit much.
Last year I re-rigged my Columbia 29 in the slip, one wire at a time with that method. But now, like you, feel it best to take it easy.
One question that did not get answered in the post was, the two ratchet blocks available with the white and black switch. I assume the ratcheting action is in opposite direction for these different blocks?
And in your application, you would want the same ratcheting action on both blocks, both white or both black?
Thanks again for sharing your experience. It is very helpful.
Bob
