BacpacJac,
Jolt's idea is a great one, but put one of the poles on each side of the waist, not behind the back. I expect this is what Jolt meant, but when I first tried it years ago, I tried it with a single pole. It is a PAIN, literally. This way the poles won't poke you on the downhills and when you stop.
