Mt.Everest = 29,028ft above sea level. Think along the lines of; F = GmM/Rsquared = mg; delta T/T = dalta R/R

At the same speed your clock goes when typing out this question. Time is a constant regardless of altitude. There are still 60 seconds in a minute, 60 minutes in an hour.
Unfortunately, I wish there had been only 55 seconds in the minute I saw this question so I would have missed it....

Looks like none of the responders so far have heard of gravitational time dilation (look it up in Wikipedia). It's a well known result of relativity that, when two things are in a gravitational field, the clock lower down will tick more slowly than the clock higher up.
Unfortunately, I don't know the formula, so I can't answer your question exactly. :-(

Is this a trick question?Time is a constant and it would not matter where the clock is(base or summit)the clocks would read the same time.There would be no difference between the 2.

It won't go slower. What kind of clock are you thinking of? As long as you aren't moving, time remains the same everywhere in our normal world. (don't get me started on moving near the speed of light with the theory of relativity...).

2.467895754637869 seconds in the hour. But if their is a high tide in the English channel and the moon is full, 2.46789574890765 seconds in the hour.

Time is the same at any altitude.
