   I read the headline in Celsius and thought that they were a bit too hot.

      Would add a new fun dimension to Jurassic Park.

      "Quick! Climb to 300 meters above sea level and the trex will boil and we will be safe!"

         to make it even more egregious:

         "Quick! Climb to about 1000 feet above sea level and the trex will boil and we will be safe!"

            I know you were talking about a mountain or something, but "climb to <altitude>" does make one think about this exchange which would be in feet, not meters:

            "climb to FL20 and the flying dinosaur thing will break" could work though

            Since, annoyingly, international altitudes are done in increments of 1000 feet (ish, handwaving)
