Aron Ralston, survivor but at what price ?

He was born in October the 27th 1975. He's an American mounain climber, the first who have climbed the 59 mountains over 4200 meters high.

In April the 26th 2003 he went into the Blue John Canyon in the Utah. He was alone and nobody knew about his actions. During its descent he climbed across a fault when a big stone fall, he put his right hand not to be yeaped and this hand was blocked between the stone and the mountain. He was alone in this place and there was no people to help him. He stayed 6 days but he was forced to amputate his hand with his penknife.

Today Aron Ralston have a prosthesis in the right hand but h continues to climb. For example he climbed the 14 remaining vertices with only 1 arm and 1 prothesis ! He has written a book "Between a rock and a hard place" to relate his life and prove that he was still able to climb.

In 2011 a film called 127 hours who tell the story of this man is on the screens !
