How high can you climb using stairs?

  • June 12, 2019

Some smartphones have a built-in barometer which in addition to counting steps also tracks the altitude. Thus, if you often take the stairs as I did in the beginning of 2019, you have a pretty good overview of how many floors you climb each day.

My phone considers one floor climbed when approximately 10 feet (3.048 meters) is gained in altitude while also generating steps at the same time. Counting together all the floors climbed per each day and multiplying this with 3.048 meters, I get the total altitude gained in meters on each day.
