Book summary

This incredible memoir of survival details the events surrounding a trapped hiker's desperate decision. Aron Ralston, a 27-year-old seasoned rock climber, makes a few errors in judgment. He chooses to go hiking in an isolated canyon in Utah without informing his roommates or family precisely where he was going. Worse still, he picks the wrong rock to support his weight. The boulder comes hurtling down, wedging his right hand underneath it and effectively trapping him for six days. Lacking food, water, and options he finally makes the only choice he can make, and it is a brutal one: he must amputate his own arm with his pocketknife if he is to survive.
