Perth Western Australia People! Jacobs Ladder?

[Anonymous]

How many calories do you suppose you could burn walking down then up Jacobs Ladder in Perth City. Of course weight, height, speed etc etc needs to be taken into account, but I just want to know for an average person, walking it, no running, just average speed..How much do you think you could burn?

BTW its an (approx) 250 step staircase with about a 43 metre steep decline.

I calculated it to be around 10.89cals/min for a 60kg female (0.1815cals/kg)
This works out to around 450cals for 4x up and down Jacobs

Well running itself burns about 300 calories. So maybe 400-500...?
