Ralston tapes himself thinking this is found after his death by a stranger. He wants his story of how he gets there to be known. So he begins by talking about his hike into the canyon and how the chockstone lands on his arm. Then he shows the stuck arm and his attempts at chipping the chockstone and the pulley system. He notes the timeline of his stay in the canyon and lists through all the possible scenarios of his outcome. He ends his taping with a message to his family.
