    I think indoor stairs have roughly a 65% grade--from what a google search said. :)

    Aerobics, step, with 6-8 inch step is your closest MFP match ...

    It's a METs 8.5 activity --- running upstairs is a METs 15.0 activity, walking downstairs is a METs 3.0 activity. They don't exactly average but this is a good safe choice between them.

    Yes, don't forget to account for the going down part. So 5 minutes of up and 5 minutes of down. :)

    Oh man 10 mins, next time do 5 mins warm up stretching, 5 minutes easy exercise, 15 on the stairs 10 min cool down with some stretching = hey presto you've just done a 1/2hour session and burnt loads more cals :-)

    MFP has Running (jogging), up stairs

    Edit:
    There's also "Walking, upstairs" and "Moving household items, boxes, upstairs"
