The Tale of a Shocking Fall and a Gritty
Resolve
In April 2003 Aron Ralston, a 27-year-old hiker, fell and
was trapped in a narrow slot in Blue John Canyon in Utah, his right arm wedged
against the rock wall by a boulder. Mr. Ralston’s ordeal — described in many
interviews after the fact and in his lively, unaffected memoir, “Between a Rock
and a Hard Place” — was a struggle for survival and a profound existential
crisis.
