To make a Dutch baby at high elevation (8,600' above sea level), what adjustments should I make?

Add 2 additional eggs and increase the flour by 1/4 cup. The objective is to increase the protein sources so that coagulation and gelatinization take place before the entire structure collapses. Collapse occurs because there is literally less atmospheric pressure pressing down on whatever you are baking, so it rises dramatically. That rapid rise is not sustainable unless the proteins are boosted. You've reminded me that my daughter loves Dutch Babies, and when she comes to visit we always make them a couple of times.

Thank you, Cynthia. This is just what I was looking for. I'm going to try this recipe with your alterations this weekend.
