Aron Lee Ralston was born on October 27th, 1975, in Ohio, but the mountains of Colorado attracted his family to move when he was just a kid, and Aron began tackling the mountains when he was only 11 years old. He went to University and got a degree in engineering. After graduating, Aron moved to Aspen, Colorado and pursued a life of rock climbing.

On Saturday, April 26th, 2003, without telling anyone his plans, Aron packed his hiking boots, a hydration system, his backpack, climbing equipment, and, notably, a pocket-sized utility tool, put his mountain bike in the back of his truck and drove almost five hours to a remote part of Utah.
