Allen set off from a small town called Aspen. He first climbed Sopes Peak near Aspen. Then he left Aspen, which was still snowing, and drove west for several hours into the Utah desert. Heading towards the Horseshoe Canyon west of Moeb

, Allen is preparing to start a one-day canyon tour, because the expected travel period is short, he only took a car, a mountain bike, a first aid kit, and a Climbing rope, an 8 cm long pocket knife and a day's rations, but! He does not have a mobile phone.

Allen has great physical strength and is also an adventure travel enthusiast. At the age of 27, he has conquered 49 of the 54 peaks over 4,300 meters in Ohio. Two months ago, he and his companions climbed together. nearly killed when an avalanche near Snowmass peak in

the west but also to the future to climb the peak of Mount McKinley in Alaska do warm-up activities

he will be parked in horseshoe Canyon, highway about 70 km from here, the night he was camping on the spot, the next morning, he Riding a mountain bike and heading south for 2 and a half hours against the wind, we arrived at Blue John Canyon, where the area is vast and the weather is varied. There are many places in the park that are very remote and no one has set foot, and Allen went to the west of the park this time. Edge zone



This generation of sand is loose and difficult to travel. The gorge is deep and narrow. The sandstone may slide or move at any time. Even in summer, the temperature difference between day and night can reach more than 20°C. After

arriving at the destination, Allen started his 24km hike. After traveling in the Blue John Canyon for nearly 3 hours, the kid was still not honest. He came to a gorge about 1 meter wide. The flaming red sandstone was uneven. He climbed the rock. Everything went smoothly at first. At 20 meters At the height of, he successfully climbed a seemingly strong boulder. However, when he was climbing a 3-foot crack in the rock, unfortunately happened...



Allen slipped and fell suddenly, and his entire right hand and forearm were squeezed between the 350 kg boulder and rock wall! No matter how much he pushes, squeezes, pulls, or tugs, it is in vain



He has 2 burritos, a few pieces of chewing gum, and 3 liters of water in his backpack. These are his only rations. He tries to save as much as possible and extends the time to wait for rescue.

Of course, he also did a lot of self-help while waiting for rescue. But because the stone was too heavy, everything was in vain.

On the third day of being trapped, Allen drank the last drop of water.

On the fifth day of being trapped, Allen made the most important decision of his life.



He took out the 8 cm long folding knife and first aid kit from his hiking bag, put them on the rock in front of him, tightened his right upper arm with a bandage, and cut it down along the right elbow joint because of the knife. Very blunt, Allen cut the muscle and soft tissue of the right arm continuously for an hour, and then he broke the radius of the forearm near the wrist first, and moved the position in the next few minutes, using the torque principle to break it with the help of rocks. Ulna



A large amount of blood spewed out, stained the boulder that pressed his right arm, and ran to the ground. Due to a large amount of blood loss, Allen almost fainted. However, he overcame the severe pain and quickly took out the antiseptic ointment and bandage from the first aid kit and gave it to himself. Emergency hemostasis treatment of right arm



Allen was trapped on a steep rock wall, 25 meters away from the bottom of the canyon. After a simple hemostasis, he fixed a rope to the rock wall with a climbing anchor, and used one arm to descend with the rope 20 Dormy, walk towards the hope of life



The wider the desert canyon, the softer the sand, and the easier it is to sink. For ordinary people, walking on this is also very hard and laborious. Alan not only has to fight for time with blood loss, coma, dehydration, etc., but also walk on foot at least It takes only 7 miles to see a glimmer of hope.

Fortunately, his luck exploded at this time. When he stumbled and approached the Horseshoe Valley, he finally met other travelers. They gave him food and water and took him on. At this time, the search and rescue helicopter also found them

on the plane. The police officers kept talking to Alan to prevent him from falling asleep. The police officers saw his empty right sleeve tube. Although they knew what was happening in their hearts, they all I didn’t dare to think about it, and inconvenient to ask. On the contrary, Allen, who was leaning on the cabin drinking water, told them straightforwardly: In order to survive, he had to amputate his arm.

12 minutes later, the plane arrived at St. Mary’s Hospital. The whole incident was the most incredible. The dumb things happened, and Allen went into the emergency room without any help.



After the incident, the police went to the Blue John Canyon to search for Allen's right arm. The climbing lock was still hanging there, and the surrounding blood was stained. The doctor said that even if the broken arm and Allen were sent back to the hospital, there was no way to transplant it. , Take a step back, even if Allen was rescued on the first day of distress, Allen still needs to be amputated

at the press conference afterwards. Allen said that during those 5 days he had been thinking about how to get out of trouble. His mood has changed many times, but he knows that he must remain calm. When on the rock wall, he often imagines that he is drinking. He said: "In the canyon, I feel that someone is with me, and I feel that my relatives and friends are together. I am together"

However, because Intel refused to give him a three-week vacation for him to climb Denali in the United States, Allen was furious.

127 Hours quotes

  • Aron Ralston: You know, I've been thinking. Everything is... just comes together. It's me. I chose this. I chose all of this. This rock... this rock has been waiting for me my entire life. In its entire life, ever since it was a bit of meteorite a million, billion years ago up there In space. It's been waiting, to come here. Right, right here. I've been moving towards it my entire life. The minute I was born, every breath I've taken, every action has been leading me to this crack on the earth's surface.

  • Aron Ralston: Good morning, everyone! It's 6:45 Tuesday morning in BJ Canyon! The weather is great. I figure by now that Leona, my housemate - Hi, Leona! - has missed me hopefully since I didn't show up last night. Another hour and a half they'll miss me for not showing up at work... Hi, Brion at work! Best case scenario is they notify the police and after a 24 hour hold they file a report, a missing person's report. Which means noon tomorrow it's official that I'm gone. I do still have the tiniest bit of water left. Well, actually, I've resorted... I've had a couple pretty good gulps of urine that I saved in my Camelbak. I sort of let it distill... It tastes like hell. So, it's 70 hours since I left on my bike from Horseshoe Trailhead during which time I have consumed 3 liters of water, a couple of mouthfuls of piss...

    [pauses a couple of seconds]

    Aron Ralston: Did I say the weather is great? Well, it is. Though flash floods potential is still present. There's four-prong major canyons upstream from me that all converge in this 3 foot wide gap where I am. The rock I pulled down on top of me, it was put there by flood. Still, I'd get a drink.

    [pauses again, while he drinks and shudders]

    Aron Ralston: Mom, Dad, I really love you guys. I wanted to take this time to say the times we've spent together have been awesome. I haven't appreciated you in my own the way I know I could. Mom, I love you. I wish I'd returned all of your calls, ever. I really have lived this last year. I wish I had learned some lessons more astutely, more rapidly, than I did. I love you. I'll always be with you.
