Not that fast
Maybe I could do 13k though if I got lucky.
But yeah, some tricks include:
Ghetto cblink if you need to cross some area but lack for instance fly.
Create space to escape from an enemy. When you use for instance a scroll of blinking, it's often not so important that you escape across the entirety of the screen, but that you are not next to the dude you are next to.
Golubriawalk into a vault, apport a rune, and walk back into the portal to exit like in pic above. You can even blink dudes around corners with proper setup!
Drop a passage in front of an approaching enemy to blink it away, then run. Once used it to drop an enemy on an island minivault in Lair iirc. Should have used it to move a Titan out of the way on the Zot entry vault but I decided to run around in circles instead for some reason.
Formicid tech in V:5 to get to the rim quickly.
Ninjaing Panlord runes as a Formicid (You can watch Yermak's tvs to see it in action)
Speedrun tech to explore as quickly as possible, especially combined with =tele (gives no contam and trivial hunger), not to mention gives you a chain of escape portals to walk into if things go badly if cast repeatedly sometimes.
Another neat one I just thought of if you are brave that might work with luck:
On a ctele-enabled rune vault, cast, passage, rtele into the vault (under shadow form hopefully), then ninja the rune, and walk back into your passage. If you go quickly enough it might spit you out back at the stairs where you cast it. According to the wiki you have about 30-50 turns.
