Rock Hard

My DH recently finished Between a Rock and a Hard Place by Aron Ralston.  Here is his review:

I always wanted to be a mountain climber, but living in a state where the highest point is Woodall Mountain (elev. 806 ft.) my Eiger dreams were crushed at a young age.  So I live vicariously through the stories of Jon Krakauer, David Brashears, and now Aron Ralston.
Aron's story takes place in the back country of Moab in Robbers Roost.  Shortly into his planned half-day excursion, a half-ton bolder becomes dislodged and pins Aron's right hand against the canyon wall.  His outlook bleak, he must spend the next five days trapped in his personal hell.  Being an avid outdoorsman and highly experienced mountain climber, Aron must use his survivalist skills to deal with his diminishing water supply and sleep deprivation.
Aron's never-say-die attitude and love for family and friends becomes his mantra to get out of this canyon alive.  After five days, Aron is reduced to drinking his own urine, which causes further dehydration.  The decision has to be made to cut off his hand (with a dull knife) or die.
I love these stories of ultimate survival, and Aron Ralston did not let me down.  So grab a large glass of water (you will need it) and read this book.
