On that day, Aron’s arm was caught under a 360-kilo rock that fell on him when he was climbing by himself in the mountains.

He was not ready to die that day. So he used his knife to cut off half his right arm. Then, with his left arm, he bandaged himself so that he would not lose too much blood.

Hard Place” and he is still climbing.
