The unforgettable survival story of the year - the astonishing, day-by-day account of Aron Ralston's terrible accident, self-amputation, rescue and recovery.

On Saturday, 26 April 2003, Aron Ralston, a 27-year-old outdoorsman andadventurer, 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 and remote canyon. Then the unthinkable happened: a boulder shifted and snared his right arm against the canyonwall. He was trapped, facing dehydration, starvation, hallucinations and hypothermia as night-time temperatures plummeted.
Five and a half days later, Aron Ralston finally came to the agonising conclusion that anyone who was looking forhim was not going to find him in time. He then made the most difficult decision of his life: his only hope was to amputate his own arm and get himself to safety. Miraculously, he survived.

Between A Rock And A Hard Place is more than just an adventure story. It is a brave, honest and above all inspiring account of one man's valiant effort to survive, and is destined to take its place among adventure classics such as Touching The Void.
