The air is too thin at 29,000 feet for helicopters to fly. That is why, when a mountain climber is sick or injured, he must be carried down to a base camp low enough for a helicopter to evacuate him.

Can you fly a helicopter to the top of Mount Everest?
No, not yet. Unfortunately for many of those that die from the weather on Mount Everest, it is impossible to bring a helicopter to the summit of Mount Everest. The helicopter cannot withstand the strong winds and harsh weather, but it also has to have a certain amount of oxygen in order to remain in the air. Considering the conditions on the summit of Mount Everest, the fact that the air is thin, it would be impossible to keep the helicopter airborne.See the Related Question listed below for further insight:
