Narrative:

While climbing to FL390 and passing through FL370 we felt a large mechanical bumping on the aircraft. The captain immediately identified the problem as a right engine surge or stall. He took control of the aircraft and directed me to execute the immediate action items. We notified ATC and began a descent while requesting a return to [departure airport]. I noticed the right engine N1 spiking to approximately 2% higher than the limit as well as spiking egt on the right engine. After completing the engine stall surge procedure we prepared for a single engine landing and landed with both engines in a flaps 20 configuration. Landing occurred without incident.
