Beneath the Shadows

Give Me a Hand: The Aron Ralston Story

Travis Fenn Episode 10

In this gripping episode, we plunge into the harrowing true story of Aron Ralston — a man who found himself literally caught between a rock and a hard place. When an 800-pound boulder trapped his arm in Utah’s remote Bluejohn Canyon, Ralston was forced to make an unimaginable choice: stay and die or sacrifice a piece of himself to survive. Over five days and seven hours, he battled hunger, thirst, and relentless isolation, recording desperate video messages and wrestled with his own mortality. With darkness closing in, Ralston’s final decision pushed the limits of human endurance, strength, and willpower. Join me as we relive every chilling detail of his journey in this episode of Beneath the Shadows, where we uncover not only the story of survival but the sheer tenacity of a spirit unwilling to surrender.
