We may need some clarification on what kind of teleportation we're talking about here.

fold through the 4th dimension :P

taking other dimensions into account adds a new wrinkle, for sure.

Q: what is the FKT for finishing all the 14ers across all possible universes?

Hmm, I don't want to risk emerging right-handed though.

While teleporting via atom reconstruction may be the most obvious method, there is clearly another way. As we learned from the movie Avengers: Endgame, by entering the Quantum Realm at a certain point and navigating it perfectly, we can exit it at virtually any place in the universe and any time. So, not only can we reach the top of any peak in a matter of seconds, we can be at the peak's summit at any time of year.

The most important thing is to adhere to the standards of those that came after you.

The absolute most important thing is that I get the required 3,000 feet of elevation gain.

No, the most important thing is that you teleport naked from sea level.
