Moshing calories

So a bit of an odd question. I go to quite a few concerts and never really thought about the exercise side of it but I was logging my exercise today and was trying to work out how many calories I would have burnt in a mosh pit for about 2 hours. Does anyone have any ideas? It's more of a workout than general dancing but it's not exactly aerobics as some time is spent just standing around. Also the music influences how much you jump around, ie a SOAD concert vs a wombats concert lol. Any suggestions? :D

    Jump roping, perhaps?

    As in try logging in 120 minutes of jump roping! I think that would make more sense over dancing.

    I don't log moshpitting as anything
    yes you do sweat at lot in a moshpit but that might be to do with the fact that you're crammed into a space with between 200-10,000 other people and lots of people jumping around or even stood together creates a lot of heat and heat=warmth=sweaty-ness.

    I need to get to a gig soonish.
