Although his pinned arm is the main problem, Ralston faces other challenges that relates to being stuck in one place for a long period. Ralston is in a standing position which tires his legs. Ralston dresses for a warm day in shorts. However, at night the desert gets cold and dark and Ralston must find ways to keep warm. Ralston is also unsure of how long he'll be stuck. He must ration his food and water.
