With a body close to Immortal Origin, Alex could hold up a weight of just slightly more than 3000 tons. Meaning, that if he wanted to, with just his body alone, he could make it to 12000 steps and higher.
However, doing so would severely weaken his body for the rest of the climb, so he didn't do something so stupid. Instead, he slowly began incorporating his Qi into his body and used that to lessen the weight significantly.
When his body and Qi were together, the weight he could handle would suddenly more than double that. He was sure that meant he could get to 14000 steps on his own.
For more than that, he would have to use his Intent.
Alex's stride stunned the people who had to slow down for their own sake. They couldn't believe how a person so weak in their cultivation base could make it so high up the mountain without a look of stress.
