By now, Aron Lee Ralston’s story is familiar. Shocking, but familiar.
Hiking alone in southern Utah in 2003, he became trapped between a boulder and the canyon wall. Facing death, he amputated his own arm with a dull pocket knife to get free and find help.
Ralston turned his tale in an autobiography, "Between a Rock And a Hard Place." And his book was turned into the Oscar-nominated film "127 Hours." And Ralston launched a career as a motivational speaker.
He will share his story and his message on Wednesday, June 13, at 8 p.m. at Ogden’s Peery Theater, which will also feature a screening of 2010 film. The appearance is sponsored by the Grassroots Outdoor Alliance, a group of independent outdoor retailers.
