      -- One hundred and twenty-seven hours
      By Ralston, Aron
       2010, c2004., Atria Paperback Call No: 796.522 3 0289   Edition: 1st Atria pbk. ed.    Availability:1 of 1     At Location(s) Summary Note: Hiking into the remote Utah canyonlands, Aron Ralston felt perfectly at home in the beautiful natural world. Then, at 2:41 p.m., eight miles from his truck, in a deep and narrow slot canyon, an eight-hundred-pound boulder tumbled loose, pinning Aron's right hand and wrist against the canyon wall. Through six days of hell, with scant water, food, or warm clothing, and the terrible knowledge that no one knew where he was, Aron eliminated his escape options one by one. Then a moment of stark clarity helped him to solve the riddle of the boulder, and commit one of the most extreme and desperate acts imaginable.

      By Krakauer, Jon
       1999., Anchor Books Call No: Class Set NF KRA   Edition: 1st Anchor Books trade pbk. ed.    Availability:6 of 6     At Location(s) Summary Note: A history of Mount Everest expedition is intertwined with the disastrous expedition the author was a part of, during which five members were killed by a hurricane-strength blizzard. When Jon Krakauer reached the summit of Mt. Everest in the early afternoon of May 10, 1996, he hadn't slept in fifty-seven hours and was reeling from the brain-altering effects of oxygen depletion. As he turned to begin his long, dangerous descent from 29,028 feet, twenty other climbers were still pushing doggedly toward the top. No one had noticed that the sky had begun to fill with clouds. Six hours later and 3,000 feet lower, in 70-knot winds and blinding snow, Krakauer collapsed in his tent, freezing, hallucinating from exhaustion and hypoxia, but safe. The following morning he learned that six of his fellow climbers hadn't made it back to their camp and were in a desperate struggle for their lives. When the storm finally passed, five of them would be dead, and the sixth so horribly frostbitten that his right hand would have to be amputated. Krakauer examines what it is about Everest that has compelled so many people - including himself - to throw caution to the wind, ignore the concerns of loved ones, and willingly subject themselves to such risk, hardship, and expense. Written with emotional clarity and supported by his unimpeachable reporting, Krakauer's eye-witness account of what happened on the roof of the world is a singular achievement.

       c2015., Juvenile, Bearport Pub. Call No: 613.6 9    Availability:1 of 1     At Location(s) Series Title: Stranded! Testing the limits of survivalSummary Note: "In May 2011, Brian Dickinson climbed to the top of Mt. Everest, the tallest mountain on Earth. 'Enjoy this moment,' he said to himself. Brian's joy would not last long, however. The powerful rays of the sun soon burned his eyes. He would have to get down the icy mountain all alone and unable to see. Could he get to the bottom of the summit before his oxygen ran out or a snow avalanche buried him alive? Lost on a Mountain is a heart-stopping collection of true stories that dramatically describe what it's like to be lost and forced to survive in the mountains. Captivating, first-person accounts of survivors include a trio that faced unbearably high temperatures when they got lost in the mountains of Death Valley National Park, and a group of people stranded in the Andes after a plane crash. The book also includes general information about the world's mountains and the incredible plants and animals that inhabit them. Large color photos, maps, and fact boxes enrich the exciting survival tales. Written in a narrative format, this book is sure to keep readers on the edge of their seats"--Provided by the publisher.
