Maybe you're pulling it up too much? Or maybe the cable is too tight? I used to have the same problem with my auto, I'd pull it up and then have to put all my strength into pulling it down.

Sure your not pulling it too tight? I'd check that before the cable. Reminds me of the time I took my door panel apart to look at my window motor, was puzzled, and finally realized I had the window lock on. ROFLOL.

For me, pulling it up 7 clicks holds me non-moving on a really steep hill. What I always do to make sure I dont do it is pull it up a click.. let off the brake and see if I move. If I do, I pull it again up a click. When it stops moving I pull it up one more click for good measure. I never have to go above 4-5 clicks usually.

Check and see that your rear caliper(s) are not seized
I've seen those happen often
