“Engineering mindset” saved Aron Ralston of 127 Hours
Aron Ralston is the mountain climber who, in 2003, found himself at the bottom of a remote canyon, his arm hopelessly pinned beneath an immovable boulder.
The five days that followed have become the subject of the bestselling book Between a Rock and a Hard Place, multiple documentaries, and the Oscar-nominated feature film 127 Hours.
In an interview with ASME he explains that it was his engineering background and mindset; “the analytical, rational, problem-solving kind of a person” that he is, that helped him survive his ordeal.
