Based on 127 HOURS :
Kristi Moore and Megan McBride was lost in Blue John Canyon. Both Kristi and Megan was actually afraid of Aron Ralston because he is a stranger. After a while of thinking of their situation, they decided to accept the help offered by Aron as they are lost and have no idea where to go but to just trust the map.
