They can climb to a safe altitude (in fact probably towards 20,000ft, although it is very unlikely they would!) on the remaining engine.
Why very unlikely? Especially when, say, not climbing well past 20 000 feet means going splat into the upper slopes of Illimani, well over 21 000 feet high? It has happened before, so it is a quite real concern...
