Boiling times vary depending on altitude, here are a couple rules of thumb.
A) ?At 5,000 feet/1,800 metres above sea level - it's about double the required boiling time at sea level, or about 6 minutes.
B) ?At 9,000 feet/3,000 metres above sea level - it's probably best not to bother. The water will boil and evaporate before your egg has even begun to cook. At this point, it may be best to consider an omelette or a scrambled egg.
