Having lived ten years at 6,780 and then during the year spending 12 weekends plus 2-4 weeks packing to as high As Goethe lake (12,600) I can tell you when it decides to get hot it damned sure will get hot. Not warm. Check the FREEZING LEVEL in meteorology. When it goes to 15,000 to 18,000 feet or even higher sometimes it means TEN THOUSAND FEET LOWER is not going to be chilly.

Altitude HELPS. It is not a cure-all. Down here, when it is 95 and humid on the coast it will be in the eighties and dry at 8,000 ft. at Zirahuen. At night the coast will drop to eighty. Zirahuen will drop into the sixties.
Such is life.
