Another Chinook might do it but the others mentioned all suffer large performance loss with altitude. Even the monster Mi 26 that has lifted 25 tons at sea level can hardly outlift an Mi 8 MTV at 10 000 feet so I dont think its an option. As mentioned, strip everything off it and call in one of its brethren.
