Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - Es sollte ein normaler Tagesausflug werden - ein wenig radfahren, tüchtig wandern, ein bißchen klettern. Doch plötzlich fand sich Aron Ralston, ehemaliger Ingenieur, nun Kletterer, Photograph und Wanderführer, in der Falle: eingeklemmt zwischen einem halbtonnenschweren Felsblock und einer Felswand. Ohne Hoffnung auf Hilfe, weil niemand wußte, wo er war. Nach fünfeinhalb Tagen ohne ein Signal der Hoffnung, mit wenig Wasser, noch weniger Essen, brütender Hitze und klirrender Kälte, stand Ralston vor der schrecklichen Entscheidung: Er kann nur überleben, wenn er sich selbst den eingeklemmten Arm amputiert. Das Unvorstellbare gelingt. Er kann sich noch eine 17 Meter hohe Felswand abseilen und mehrere Kilometer laufen, bis ihn die Rettungsteams finden. Selten zuvor hat ein junger Mensch so eindringlich den Zustand zwischen Leben und Tod beschrieben: so ehrlich, so erschütternd, so humorvoll, so mutmachend. Dieses Buch ist schon jetzt ein Klassiker der Survival-Literatur.
