It is difficult to tell.Just like different places on the earth situated at the sea level ,have different average temperature,mountain tops will also have different average temperatures depending upon the altitude,presence of snow or ice covering,prevailing winds at that level and the latitude.
Even though you can calculate approximately,using a lapse rate of 6.5 degree celcius per Km,it will not be always correct as the prevailing winds at that level and the presence of ice covering (which absorbs the heat) will affect the lapse rate.

Actually, the temperature drop with height (called lapse rate
by meteorologists) is 6.5 degrees Celsius per 1000 meters (not feet)
or, in English units, it is 3.57 degrees Fahrenheit per 1000 feet.

Its a cording to the altitude and location.
