For braking a zip line trolley, a wheel rides on the zip line cable. An array of toothed slots is disposed downslope from the wheel. A slope adjustment pin is fixed downward into a first toothed slot. At least one selection tab connects the slope adjustment pin to a rider. A brake pad is disposed downslope from the slope adjustment pin. The weight of the rider rotates the brake pad about the wheel to apply a braking force.
