The achievement is for climbing ENTIRE mountain, not for taking a chopper to the top and climbing the last 100 feet.
Those "only 10 levels" are actually half the XP for all of 1-50. Yeah it's faster than it was before, but that has nothing to do with powerleveling per se. I think that part of the argument really comes down to a question of the amount of the link bonuses in particular, which is probably best discussed in a separate thread.
