How to prevent backdrive on climber?

If you end up using a winch, or some other mechanism that doesn’t need to be run in both directions on the field, and use rope/cable; we are using sailing cleats similar to these, they only allow the rope to slide in one direction through it. Potentially lower cost then using a ratcheting setup, and potentially easier to reset. We also don’t need to rely on any backdrive or motor braking.
