The energy expended in each climb is E = 60 x 9.8 x 10 = 5880 Joules
1Calorie = 4.2 joules Thus the energy in calories is 5880/4.2 = 1400 cal. Food calories are in fact KILOCALORIES and therefore each climb uses up 1400/1000 = 1.4 cal , that is less than 1.5 calories . It easier to keep off your hamburgers ! :-)
