You should expect a good frost every morning, thunderstorms are possible in
the late afternoon.

How light a jacket?  Any insulation?  One of the syntheic fills is probably
better than down.

TAKE SUNSCREEN - AND USE IT!  There's lots of UV light at this elevation

oxygen up there... and be sure to drink enough water.
