Better than without lights...
To be honest, I would prefer not to descend that even in daylight.I would like to climb it one day but will have to find a way to get down that doesn't expose me to almost certain death.

Is it that bad? Must ride now...

There are plenty of climbs/descents they'll have to do at night during the whole ride, Ventoux isn't that bad* in the grand scheme of things as it doesn't have as many sheer drops off the side, or hairpins, as some of the climbs they will encounter on the ride do.
* Saying that, the only time I've climbed Ventoux (from Bedoin) I saw a dead cyclist in the road who had crashed descending. Our descent (to Malaucene) was a lot more cautious than I would normally descend (and I descend like Thora Hird in a Stannah Stair Lift).
