I think a way to rephrase the question is to ask, is the light coming from the top of mt. everest red shifted or blue shifted or neither? (I'm not certain of the answer, either. Physics was a long time ago.)

It depends on the location of the observer. (coming towards you = blue, moving away from you = red)
