The climb from Ivarstead up to High Hrothgar is maybe the most famous hike in The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim - in no small part because of the Frost Troll halfway up ready to kill underleveled players. It's claimed in-game that there are 7,000 steps, but that number has been debunked several times over the years using various methods. Now, one gamer has used a real-life stair climber to finally put this issue to bed.
YouTuber ShakeMistake, who has previously done feats such as walking across Death Stranding and Elden Ring, and swimming around Solstheim using motion controls, posts to Reddit about their achievement.
