I'd definitely wait! I might even join you on fixed, though I'd definitely agree with Andrew that a front brake is essential in hilly terrain when riding fixed. I'd not worry about a low gear and spinning out - I've not been caught out too many times by hard descents when riding fixed, though I've had the odd 'moment!'
