Materials:
In his final chapter, Ralston recounts the difficult climb out of the canyon and describes the technical moves required so that he can make it to a pool of water 150 feet below him. One tiny mistake now, easily possible given the weakness he feels from his days trapped in the cold and unrelenting canyon, would mean lost time and certain death. He must walk miles to his bike and to his truck and get to a hospital before the rot in the arm, loss of blood and his near starvation kills him. He keeps his grip, rappels to the canyon floor, drinks the brown water, feels the warmth of the sun, and is soon met by a family of hikers who run for help.
RRJ3: In your journal, write about a time when you experienced a happy ending to a difficult and possibly dangerous situation. Try to explain the feelings associated with the event. Consider using metaphors and similes to describe your response to putting a difficult experience behind you. In retrospect, was your experience worthwhile in any way?

Materials:
Ralston begins chapter seven with a quote from the ancient poet Horace: "Adversity has the effect of eliciting talents, which, in prosperous circumstances would have lain dormant." He reflects on what it is he is supposed to learn from being trapped against the canyon wall, facing the slow process of dying of thirst. He is cold. He is tired. His efforts to free himself have failed. He notices a cycle of action and repose that he has begun to follow. He pays attention to the process of getting free rather than just the desired results. In this chapter he makes the first attempt to cut off his arm, something he had considered and dismissed earlier, and discovers it is not possible with the knife blade he has with him. He gives up the effort. He returns to self-reflection and the camcorder. He has yet to learn what talent may have been lying dormant in his life.
RRJ4: In your journal, write about something you learned about yourself when you got into a difficult situation. Use your best narrative writing skills to create an image of the situation and be sure you are clear about the lesson learned, even if the knowledge of the lesson did not fully present itself to you until much later.

In chapter five, Ralston decides he is simply waiting to be found after trying everything he sees as possible to survive. He says, "I will die here." He becomes hopeless. He then begins to realize that he got himself into this situation and that each of us creates our own lives. He thinks he must have sought this experience in order to fulfill his desire for the ultimate adventure. He is now 32 hours into his entrapment. Later, in Chapter Eleven, Ralston falls into trances and accepts the fact that he will die. He scratches RIP on the rock above where he had earlier etched his name and birth month. Then he envisions a three year old boy who leaves him with a sensation of joy and the knowledge that he will survive this experience. The vision inspires him to keep hope alive.
RRJ3: In your journal, write about a moment of hopelessness you may have had either in terms of an adventure, a relationship or even in an effort to do an especially difficult or tedious assignment in school. The subject does not matter; only the sense of hopelessness is important. Write about the outcome of the situation. How did you get past hopelessness or how did you feel when you gave up and simply moved on?

RRJ1: Look at the layout of the first few pages of the text. Why do you think Ralston chose to juxtapose his map with sections of The Odyssey and a historical background of the canyon? What is he setting up?
The book Between a Rock and a Hard Place begins with three verses from Homer'sThe Odyssey in which the enchantress Circe describes the dangers that Odysseus will face after he leaves her island. Through these verses Ralston describes the risk of adventure, preparing the reader for the idea that there are people who love adventure for the sake of adventure itself.
But once your crew has rowed you past the Sirens
a choice of routes is yours. I cannot advise you
which to take, or lead you through it all —
you must decide for yourself --
but I can tell you the ways of either course.
On one side beetling cliffs shoot up, and against them
pound the huge roaring breakers of the blue-eyed Amphrite --
the Clashing Rocks they're called by all the blissful Gods.
No ship of men has ever approached and slipped past --
always some disaster — big timbers and sailors corpses
whirled away by the waves and lethal blasts of fire.
On the other side looms two enormous crags . . .
One thrusts into the vaulting sky its jagged peak,
hooded round with a dark cloud that never leaves--
and halfway up that cliff side stands a fog-bound cavern
gaping west toward Erebus, realm of death and darkness--
past it, great Odysseus, you should steer your ship.
Scylla lurks inside it—the yelping horror,
yelping, no louder than any suckling pup
but she's a grisly monster, I assure you.
She has twelve legs, all writhing, dangling down
and six long swaying necks, a hideous head on each,
each head barbed with a triple row of fangs, thickset,
packed tight—and armed to the hilt with black death!
. . . with each of her six heads she snatches up
a man from the dark-prowed craft and whisks him off.
The other crag is lower—you will see, Odysseus--
Atop it a great fig-tree rises, shaggy with leaves;
beneath it awesome Charybdis gulps the dark water down.
Three times a day she vomits it up, three times she gulps it down,
that terror! Don't be there when the whirlpool swallows down--
not even the earthquake god could save you from disaster.
No, hug Scylla's crag—sail on past her—top speed!
Better by far to lose six men and keep your ship
than to lose your entire crew.
Next, Ralston has chosen to show a map of the four corners area that includes the area in the state of Utah in which his climbing adventure and accident happened. Another map details the area of Blue John Canyon in which Ralston was trapped.
In his prologue, Ralston reveals the history of this infamous canyon with its Wild Bunch characters and its various hide-outs for the likes of Butch Cassidy. There is a marvelous history in these canyons.
