London England: Simon & Schuster. Very Good/Very Good. 2004. 1st Uk Edition. Cloth. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall 0743263537 Hardback Hardback. Between a Rock and a Hard Place. Slight shelf wear to top edge of D/J. On Saturday, 26 April 2003, Aron Ralston, a 27-year0old outdoorsman and adventurer, set off for a day's hike through a remote part of Utah. Eight miles from his truck, in the middle of a deep and narrow canyon, he was climbing down off a wedged border when suddenly the rock came loose. Before he could get out of the way, the falling stone pinned his right hand and wrist against the canyon wall. After forty-five minutes of frantically trying to move the boulder, Aron realized it wouldn't budge. He was stuck. In his backpack, Aron had some climbing equipment, a rope and a multi-tool, but no jacket, and only insignificant amounts of water and food. it wasn't much - certainly not enought to last until help could arrive. He had to get himself out. On Sunday, his hand already dead, Aron considered cuttinf off his arm. However, his knife wosn't sharp enough to saw through the bonmes and he concluded that a serious attempt to sever his arm would be a slow act of suicide. Hour after hour of dehydration, starvation and sleep-deprivation passed. by the end of the fourt day he had stopped fighting death and even welcomed it as an end to his misery. During that fifth night, the temperature plummeted and Aron was wracked by uncontrollable shivers. However, hallucinatory visions of his parents, his friends, and even his future son sustained him and he survived that most terrible night. Then, at 10:32 in the morning of 1 May, a moment of epiphany revealed to him the solution to the boulder's riddle: he could use the rock's vice-like hold to break his arm bones, the first step in setting himself free.
