Hang on a second, I just thought of something... what if Todd meant 'steps' as in the actual stone blocks themselves? Each layer in the path is at least 7-8 wide, so that would bring the number of actual step blocks up a lot more. Also, did you REALLY want to climb 7000 steps? I thought the Frost Troll was pain enough.
