kcal = MET × body weight (kg) × hours. MET values: Compendium of Physical Activities. Climbing time per flight varies with stair height and fitness, so treat these as estimates.
Going down counts too. Descending stairs uses far less energy than climbing, but each stair is still a step on your pedometer.
