127 hours aron ralston biography of albert

After wincing my way through the amazing but sobering Danny Boyle movie by the same name, I finally found the nerve to buy the book, Hours: Between a Rock and a Hard Place.
What and amazing story! This is the true account of Aron Ralston who hacked his own arm off to free himself from a rock that had trapped him in a freak accident. As is so often the case, the book adds depth to this amazing story, especially in terms of describing the vast experience Ralston had as an outdoorsman before tragedy stuck.
Both the book and movie highlight one of the key elements in the story: he humbly recognises that he has broken all the rules, and that he alone is responsible for the predicament he finds himself in.
If you have a son / daughter, niece / nephew, or any other flavor adventurer in your family or circle of friends, this would be an awesome gift: one that may well save their life.

Hutchinson, Kan. – Trapped alone in a Utah canyon for nearly a week and pinned by a half-ton boulder Aron Ralston had to choose between his hand and his life. He chose survival — amputating his own limb, rappelling 65 feet and hiking seven miles to rescue.
Ralston will bring his amazing, inspirational story home to Hutchinson at am on Sept. 26 when he appears as part of the Dillon Lecture Series at the Hutchinson Sports Arena.
Ralston&#;s heroic story is the subject of the film &#; Hours&#; starring James Franco and directed by Oscar-winning Danny Boyle. Boyle&#;s film, based on Ralston&#;s New York Times bestselling autobiography, &#;Between a Rock and a Hard Place,&#; received six Oscar nominations, including &#;Best Picture.&#;
Following a miraculous rescue spearheaded by his mom and with the aid of prosthetics he helped design, Aron returned to his outdoor passions, completing elite mountaineering projects which remain unrepeated
