Daran ordered to have their campsite built at an opening 5 miles away from the fort. While soldiers working on that, he and the Gammas climbed up to a high ground trying to get a better view of the fort.

A blizzard broke in around this time. The wind was gusting, and the snow was so heavy that it was almost impossible to gaze into the distance.
