Aron Ralston "Between a Rock and a Hard Place"

His was an unbelievable ordeal. While hiking alone in Canyonlands National Park in Utah in April 2003, Aron Ralston was climbing down a ledge when an 800-pound boulder fell, and lodged tight against his right hand and wrist. He was trapped, and knew he would die unless he did something drastic. Using only a dull, dirty knife he had in his backpack, Ralston methodically cut off his own arm, then hiked to his own rescue. His story made national news, and now Ralston tells how the episode has changed his life -- for the better -- in his book Between a Rock and a Hard Place.
