ISBN: 074349282XAron Ralston's story of his 2003 "day hike" in Bluejohn Canyon (maze District, Canyonlands NP). He went in alone, without leaving word of his itinerary. While scrambling in the slot canyon, an 800-pound boulder rolled onto his forearm, pinning him.Waiting for S&R but out of water, at the 5-day point he made the terrible decision. Using the boulder for leverage, and a dull multitool knife, he first broke the bones of his forearm and then freed himself by amputating it. He then hiked out to safety.This book is that extraordinary story, made even more incredible because of the photos he actually took during his ordeal
