[at-l] Tough.

Climber-hiker, Aron Ralston, 27, of Aspen, Colorado, was hiking on Saturday
when he became pinned by a boulder, weighing about 1,000 pounds, in the
remote Blue John Canyon near Canyonlands National Park in southeastern Utah.
  He ran out of water on Tuesday.  On Thursday morning, using a pocketknife,
he cut off his right arm below the elbow, applied a tourniquet and
administered first aid.  He then rigged anchors, fixed a rope and rappelled
60 feet down a canyon wall, and was hiking out when he was found on
Thursday.
