Default Prop speed versus elevation?

I flew on a 30 degree day from previously flying in 60 degree weather and the difference was unbelievable! It was like night and day. However the same principles apply to higher altitudes. If you fly at 70 degrees at 2000 feet and then go to 70 degrees at 7000 feet, it will be the same as going from cold weather to hot weather.
