127 Hours
A day-by-day account of Aron Ralston's unforgettable survival story. On Saturday, 26 April 2003, Aron Ralston, a 27-year-old outdoorsman and adventurer, set off for a day's hike in the Utah canyons. Eight miles from his truck, he found himself in the middle of a deep and remote canyon. Then the unthinkable happened: a boulder shifted and snared his right arm against the canyon wall. He was trapped, facing dehydration, starvation, hallucinations and hypothermia as night-time temperatures plummeted. Five and a half days later, Aron Ralston finally came to the agonising conclusion that his only hope was to amputate his own arm and get himself to safety. Miraculously, he survived. 127 Hours is more than just an adventure story. It is a brave, honest and above all inspiring account of one man's valiant effort to survive, and is destined to take its place among adventure classics such as Touching the Void.

Summary of Aron Ralston's Between a Rock and a Hard Place
Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 I was mountain biking by myself in the far southeastern corner of Emery County, in central-eastern Utah, on April 26, 2003. I had twenty-five pounds of supplies and equipment on my bike ride, which was difficult to move forward due to the wind. #2 Lightweight travel is a pleasure to me, and I’ve figured out how to do more with less so I can go farther in a given amount of time. I biked the twelve-mile loop of the Slick Rock Trail over east of Moab yesterday, carrying only six pounds of water and camera equipment. #3 I am planning on riding the White Rim Trail in Canyonlands National Park, a 108-mile route that takes about twenty-four hours to complete. I am hoping to carry fifteen pounds and complete the loop in under twenty-four hours. #4 I had the impression that I was watching the ongoing birth of a landscape, as if I were standing on the rim of an exploding caldera. The vista made me realize how scarce and delicate life is, how insignificant we are compared to the forces of nature and the dimensions of space.

As he slid down and off of the boulder it shifted, trapping his right hand against the canyon wall. No one knew where he was; he had little water; he wasn't dressed correctly; and the boulder wasn't going anywhere. He remained trapped for five days in the canyon: hypothermic at night, de-hydrated and hallucinating by day. Finally, he faced the most terrible decision of his life: braking t...
