But it spite of all these, boys have started from the Camp 1 under the Devil Tower and till 4 p.m. they reached Camp 2 at 6 900m. The camp set at the bright snow place situated between the top of Tower and the upper buttress - here the route line located. In the evening report climbers said that the wind was hurricane like and the morning plans would depend on the weather.
