we can only guess at his high mountain ability at this point, but all evidence suggest he should be able to do it based on:
-He doesn't weight a lot, -9kg compared to people like Dumoulin, who are able to climb
-He has an awesome wattage output over anything 20 to 60 minutes, proven in both TT's and long solo's.
-Combine that gives an awesome w/kg output, which normally should mean he will climb well.
The only question mark is his recovery day after day. But I'd really be surprised if he can't handle a single mountain given his physical traits. Low weight and great tt capabilities / w/kg output should prove useful on long steep climbs as well...
