I typically do much better if I keep my eyes on the summit although it gets tough to hold the head up on some rides.

And if I had audio there would be a lot of "Oh my God" muttering also.
I know, it looks like I'm drunk! When I use a handlebar-mounted camera I look down a lot on tough sections. It makes it easier for some reason. Other times I actually enjoy looking at the road rising in front of me. It depends on the level of suffering at the time.

Mine has audio. It's low like all Contours, but it contains the sounds of a suffering female cyclist, which may sound like something entirely different if it's heard by an unsuspecting spouse, so be forewarned!.
