Interesting question, Snick... I'm not sure how far I could actually go... I can work backwards though. Cracks of Doom? Never. I've had nightmares about volcanos since I was but a wee lass. Couldn't have run with the orcs, what with asthma. Shelob's lair? Nope. I freaked in the theater, and I really hate spiders in general. The second I felt a spider web, I'd be gone. So if I'd traveled with Frodo... I'd have gotten about to Ithilien before falling apart.
With Merry and Pippen? I'm not sure. I certainly wouldn't have been able to tolerate orc-mischief, so I'd have been killed long before the battle by Fangorn.
If I was with the Hunters... I'd have followed them, but there's no way I could have kept up. Seriously though, I could have made it through Helm's Deep, up until the orcs whipped out the explosives.
To be honest... I don't really know how far I could have gone before cracking. I never would have made it to the end, but I would have tried. And if I did, God forbid, give up, I would spend the rest of my existance unable to forgive myself.
