Aron Ralston's 127 Hours: This is going to make one hell of a story. . .
Out rock-climbing alone one day, Aron Ralston fell down a canyon and found
himself with one arm trapped under an 800lb boulder. He was left with an
appalling choice: face certain death – or amputate the arm. The book Ralston
wrote about his ordeal has now been made into a film by 'Slumdog
Millionaire’ director Danny Boyle. In this extract, Ralston describes in
compelling detail how he managed to do the unthinkable.
Miserable, I watch another empty hour pass by. I have nothing whatsoever to
do. I have no life. Only in action does my life approximate anything more
than existence. Without any other task or stimulus, I’m no longer living, no
longer surviving. I’m just waiting.
