I refuse to provide a link or a name, but...

The guy who was climbing the mountain and had to cut his arm off to escape.

I'll let someone else elaborate.

Aaron Ralston is the guy you speak of. He has a book out about the incident, "Between a Rock and a Hard Place".

Ralson actually came and spoke at our convocation to begin the school year this fall is the only reason I'm even familiar with him so well. His book was required reading over this past summer, as well.
