I guess you will be adding a pole next year eh?
Unless you can add a pole on top, you are SOL.
I lengthened my pole to 28 feet and the hops are growing so fast they will top out next week.
Some guys have had luck "training" them to make a zig zag. It has never worked for me but you may want to give it a shot.
Good luck,

I suppose you could cut it off to encourage lower growth

You'll probably end up with something like this:
My hops usually top out and if they don't "jump" into a nearby tree, they just develop a "crown".
