If I had the money to burn, I'd wait until after peak season and go up there by helicopter, hop down, take a selfie and brag I had "reached the top of Mount Everest" to oohs and ahs. You don't have to say you climbed to the top...

A helicopter might be able to reach the summit of Mt. Everest but it would be at the extreme limits of the aircraft.

At 30K feet? Not possible. The highest altitude "rescue" to date on Everest was about 18K feet - and that was with the pilot on O2 and only in the area for minutes at most.

The oxygen levels at 30k feet aren't there and the motors will stall out.

Mount Everest On May 14th, 2005, an Ecureuil/AStar AS 350 B3 helicopter operated by Eurocopter was reported to have landed on Mount Everest (29,035 feet). The landing is in dispute. The listed service ceiling of the rotorcraft is between 17 and 18 thousand feet, which is considerably short of the summit altitude. An unmanned high altitude helicopter is nearing completion. TGR Helicorp in New Zeland has designed the "Alpine Wasp" specifically for rescue evolutions on Everest. The machine's diesel engine will give it an operating ceiling in excess of 30,000 feet.
