Going to the Alps soon and after some tips on riding and dealing with the altitude. Found this video online and just wondered what people thought on this guys tips, seems a little strange but could work?

Its very easy to overdo it so dont worry about your speed or the time it takes, instead focus on keeping your breathing and heart rate at a sustainable level and you'll get there.
As for the video, plenty of carbs in beer so tuck in, just dont descend.
