  • OnlyFans model Kamryn Renae was rescued after falling ill during an attempt to summit Mount Whitney, the tallest mountain in the contiguous United States.
  • Renae, who is documenting her Pacific Crest Trail journey from Mexico to Canada, shared her Mount Whitney attempt with her 183,000 Instagram followers in a vlog posted on May 23.
  • Despite starting the hike feeling well, Renae, who admitted to having limited mountain-climbing experience, began to feel sick and decided to camp two miles from the summit.

  • Renae was subsequently airlifted to a hospital for treatment, attributing her illness to a contaminated water source encountered during her trek.
