A 50 m2 RPC carpet was operated at the YanBaJin Cosmic Ray Laboratory (Tibet) located 4300 m a.s.l. The performance of RPCs in detecting Extensive Air Showers was studied. E$ciency and time-resolution measurements at the pressure and temperature conditions typical of high mountain laboratories, are reported.
