To celebrate the release of the film, Outside Magazine is launching the 127 Defining Moments Contest, which seeks to inspire people to share their own life-changing or death-defying experiences in the great outdoors.

Outside will select 126 of those entrants to go along with Aron's to create the 127 Defining Moments. The 126 winners will receive some great outdoor gear from Eddie Bauer, Sierra Designs, Larabar and CamelBak, including Ten Grand Prize gear packages.

The contest ends November 12. For more information and to enter, please click here. To read some of the current submissions, please click here.

127 Hours: The Aron Ralston Story

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010
Aron Ralston, the man who sawed his arm off after it was pinned under a boulder in a slot canyon in Utah, is the subject of a new movie coming out in early November.

The movie, called 127 Hours as a result of the amount of time he was trapped, is based on Aron's life story as told in his book "Between a Rock and a Hard Place".

The film features rising star James Franco as Ralston.

The trailer, below, is pretty compelling. I definitely plan on checking this movie out.
