Between a Rock and a Hard Place is a 2004 autobiographical book by American mountain climber Aron Ralston.

The book goes back and forth, in alternating chapters, between Ralston's past experiences and his entrapment in the slot canyon, and the efforts of his mother to find him.

Inc. magazine named Ralston's account one of seven "great entrepreneurship books that have nothing to do with business.

"[3] The book was adapted into the 2010 film 127 Hours, starring James Franco as Ralston and directed by Danny Boyle.

[4] Since the film's release, the autobiography has also been sold with the title 127 Hours: Between a Rock and a Hard Place.
