The East African orogeny resulted in the formation of an enormous mountain chain, known as the Transgondwanan Supermountain, which was more than 8,000 km (5,000 mi)-long and 1,000 km (620 mi)-wide. The sedimentary deposition from this mountain chain is known as the Gondwana Super-fan.

I saw that, but all the hard data is about the length of the chain, not the estimated height of the mountains in the chain.
