The “gallop” technique is a variation of the double pole plant where the poles are planted slightly offset for a more sustained push, resembling the movement of cross-country skiing. It is particularly effective for uphill terrain, providing continuous momentum.
Key points include keeping arms straight, alternating pole leads to avoid strain, and counting steps for rhythm. While challenging to master, this technique is valuable once learned, offering a strong and efficient method for tackling hills.
