500 squats in 45 minutes
My heart rate was definitely above 150
Between every 100 I took a 1 minute break.
I was sweating a lot when I finished.

enter in the database as calistenics0

Go to the exercise tab here at MFP, select Cardiovascular, scroll through the drop down menu of database exercises and select Calisthenics, vigorous effort, and enter the amount of time. Then subtract a little off the burn they give you, since MFP is notorious for overestimating calorie burns.
Just squats, no other exercises with them?0 -
Nope, just squats. I was going to try to do 5000, but once I started I realized I was insane so I just did 500.0

Well, except that it is nothing like a stair. Or then I'd really like to see a video of you climbing up a flight of stairs...

Its "like a stair" in that you're moving a similar mass in a similar direction.
Which muscles you're activating is not the important bit - what matters is mass and distance.
