So Like other people I decided ot count  the acutal PACES from the stone at the end of the bridge up the mounatin (however, since I have completed most factions, and finished the main quest, I prefer to challenge myself by drinking quite a bit before playing the game lol) at my count I got to 896 steps before I decided to take another drink and give up, but I was at  a little bit before what I thought would be a quarter of the way up, so at my guess 7000 "steps" must be somewhere around 7000 paces since the actuall steps visible is only around 750, Knowing bethesda, I'm sure they paid some whelp to sit there and count the paces. lo l
