Between a Rock and a Hard Place

In this memoir, Aron Ralston recounts his harrowing experience of being trapped in Bluejohn Canyon, Utah, for 127 hours.

After a boulder pinned his right arm against the canyon wall, Ralston attempted various methods to escape before finally breaking his forearm and amputating it with a multi-tool.

The book details his physical and emotional struggle, as well as his reflections on life and adventure.

It also includes his backstory, highlighting his early life, education, and career as a mechanical engineer before his accident and subsequent return to outdoor activities with new prosthetic arms.
