Definitely not in my skillset. I would awkwardly trip and fall to my death if I tried this on Sunlight.

You have to hula hoop while skiing. Same rule for ski descents.

The ultimate finisher would complete all 14ers using all disciplines ON EACH PEAK: hiking, climbing, running, skiing, biking, sex, hula-hooping, teleporting and pooping.
And cello, drinking, etc, can’t keep up.
