A pair of security professionals from Axis Communications and Genetec laced up their hiking boots and summited California’s Mt. Whitney, the highest point in the contiguous United States, all in an effort to raise funds and awareness for Mission 500.
Karl Radke, Midwest Business Area Director at Axis Communications, and Jason Johnston, OKR Practice Lead at Genetec, were supported by their respective companies in their successful attempt to scale the 14,505-foot peak on Wednesday. Radke and Johnston hiked more than 21 miles on a strenuous out-and-back trail that leads past rocky switchbacks, sheer cliffs and flowing waterfalls.
