Fixed gear riders rapidly become accustomed to using higher power (not as in a deity) rather than higher cadence to move up hills. Or at least that's my guess.

Since I've started riding a fixed gear, I've noticed that I actually accelerate up a lot of low inclines. It seems more natural to fight to maintain speed uphill than to have to work super hard in low cadence at the top.
