I dont weigh anything at all and have never had the slightest trouble slowing myself down before. I also haven't used a braking carabiner. Any intructions?
Are you sure you had the rope installed correctly? FWIW I weigh about 165 and I would want a braking carabiner with a bobbin on a 10.5 dynamic line. I also don't usually need it on a stiff 11mm pit rope, though I always install it anyway at first. Also, I've used just one braking carabiner with a stiff 9mm line. Different makes of rope are different. It's always good to start out with more friction than you need, as I'm sure you know. With a bobbin that means keeping a braking carabiner on your harness at all times. Trust me, you won't even know it's there.
