If you turn right at the "near miss" wall that descent/ride back down is much better in my opinion. Really good views.

Alpe d'Huez is my least favourite decent in the world!

nice video! How fast do you think you were going in the very beginning part of the video during the fairly straight descents? Also, what video camera did you use to film this? I'd love to get one for my bike.
It's an actioncam 520 connected to a camcorder. All the gear was stuffed into my jersey!

It's not even a hair pin turn. I felt the back wheel slide on some sand or something and when I tried to slow down, the back wheel locked up. I had to pump the break to stop the wheel from locking up otherwise I would have hit the wall sideways. A bit hairy when it's at about about 45mph. Did it the next time and no issue.
