Go to http://www.biggreenegg.com/boilingPoint.htm and you'll find a calculator for finding boiling water temperature at any altitude.

Approximately 93 °C. The temperature at which water boils is related to the vapor pressure required for boiling, which is equal to the atmospheric pressure. The implication of this is that as the atmospheric pressure changes, the boiling point of water changes as well. When you go up a mountain, the air pressure is lower (the column of air pushing down is smaller). Therefore, water boils at a lower temperature, and food takes longer to cook. For every 1000 ft. in altitude, the boiling point of water decreases by about 1 °C. On top of Mt. Everest (28,000ft), the boiling point of water is 76.5°C.

water boils at 212 but it will decrease at 7000 feet aboze sea level
somewhere around 200?

At 7000 feet, the atmospheric pressure is around 11.0 psi. (22.4"Hg)
At this pressure, water boils at 200°F (93°C).
