I think there is a chance for me to reach Kilimanjaro. I was fine at 4200 in Peru and I definitely think I could have gone higher
. There is still hope for me!!! Did anyone else get sick in your group?
No one else got sick enough to be brought down. Everyone suffered some. A couple of people had to be dragged down by the guides from the summit - their desire took them to the top, but then they lost all their energy.
There is no way to predict who gets impacted by altitude sickness, or how much. Even people who are used to high altitudes can get impacted - when I was on Kilimanjaro, one of the porters had be come down off the mountain, and he had been climbing up and down Kilimanjaro for a number of years.
Just take it slow and drink lots of fluids.

The highest was in Pastururi (Huaraz-Peru), 5200 m = 17060 feet. At night- in Titicaca Lake 3827 m = 12555 feet. Definitely ?Coca tea? works very well in these cases. Unfortunately it is just in Peru and Bolivia 
the highest i've been is the top of Mauna Kea on the big island of Hawaii (13,796 ft). i did some work at the observatory.
as for altitude-for-the-fun-of-it...i did a trip to bolivia and peru.
la paz, bolivia: ~12,000 ft
copacabana, bolivia: ~12,000 ft
cuzco, peru: ~11,000 ft
i'm happy to say that i never got sick in any of these places
A poor effort from me on this one. Best i have managed is around Quito, Ecuador. About 9,000 feet is the highest point we went. Will have to change that in the next year or two.
living in australia, being a relatively flat country, and having limited travel experience i'm afraid my answer to this question is rather dismal. the highest i've been is la toussuire, a ski resort in france at around 1700m- this was the first time i'd seen snow, been up in the mountains or skiied so quite a momentous weekend for me!! i hope to change my answer to this question in the future!!
cheers,
