On Saturday 26 April 2003 Aron Ralston a 27-year-old outdoorsman & 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 & remote canyon. Then the unthinkable happened: a boulder shifted & snared his right arm against the canyon wall. He was trapped facing dehydration starvation hallucinations & hypothermia as night-time temperatures plummeted. Five & a half days later Aron Ralston finally came to the agonising conclusion that his only hope was to amputate his own arm & get himself to safety. Miraculously he survived. BETWEEN A ROCK & A HARD PLACE is more than just an adventure story. It is a brave honest & above all inspiring account of one man's valiant effort to survive & is destined to take its place among adventure classics such as TOUCHING THE VOID.
