Aron Ralston - Between A Rock And A Hard Place

In 2003 Aron Ralston's story made headlines worldwide. After being pinned by a half-ton boulder for nearly a week in a remote three-foot-wide slot canyon in southern Utah, Ralston narrowly escaped death by severing his right forearm with a dull pocketknife.

After applying a tourniquet, he hiked and rappelled for five hours before searchers in a helicopter miraculously rescued him.

Ralston documented the life-altering experience and his remarkable will to survive in his New York Times best-selling book, Between a Rock and a Hard Place. His story was also adapted into an Oscar nominated film, 127 Hours.
