At sea level water boils at 212° Fahrenheit
for every 500 feet increase in elevation the boiling point drops by 1 degree.
Divide 7000 by 500 to get the degree drop
7000 / 500 = 14 degree drop
subtract 14° from 212° to get the boiling point of water
212° - 14° = 198°
The boiling point of water at 7000 feet is 198°

assuming the pressure is 30 inches which is just a hair above averager the exact boiling point would be 199.39 degrees farenheit which is about 93.66 degrees celcius if you need that.

Umm I know it in Celcius-if you're doing any type of scientific research you should be changing it to Celcius. Anyhow its 100 C

Here's a site that will calculate it for any altitude.
