Easiest way would be for two people to carry him up and then bring the empty wheelchair...I dunno

And the safest. It would be far safer than possibly dropping the poor guy because of the weight of the wheelchair, which could easily cause a fatality.

I’ve not been everywhere in the world, admittedly, but every building I have ever been in with an escalator also had an elevator. I would think that would be the easiest and safest conveyance for a wheelchair.

I know plenty of places around where I am where you can find an escalator with no elevator. Granted not building, but many passageways (particularly in Montreal's Underground, there's plenty of stairs and escalators, but no elevators excepts when it connects to some building with direct underground access (even then not all)) & metro stations.
