Best Answer

Although it was claimed to have been done in 2005, it would be difficult if not impossible due to the limitations of rotorcraft at high altitudes. There is also no suitably large landing space at the summit, so excursions using helicopters are extremely unlikely.

How did amy and dan climb to the top of mount everest?

In The 39 Clues, Book Eight: The Emperor's Code, Amy and Dan know that they have to somehow get to the top of Mt. Everest. Nellie, their au pair, solves this problem for them. She makes a phone call to an unknown person and convinces the pilot of a Ecureuil A-Star helicopter (one of the only planes capable of landing on the summit of Mount Everest) to take Amy and Dan to the top. So technically, they did not climb up Mount Everest, they flew up to the top.
