The party went south along the Misty Mountains and made forward to some point to cross them. As Gandalf was their leader, the others decided to follow his advice and made for the Redhorn Pass. They reached it some weeks later without bother by any creatures. But as they climbed up the Mountain (which was called Caradhras), strong snowfall started and they are driven back to the foot of the Redhorn. So they decided to use the dark path, which leads under the Misty Mountains, through the mines of Moria. Though Boromir suggested to round the mountains in the south and use the so called Gap of Rohan to get on the other side of the mountains, Gandalf don't wanted to, because the wizard Saruman, who was of the order of Gandalf, had become evil and himself reached for the ring to become more powerful. This evil person, Saruman the White, had his home near the Gap of Rohan and no one could know what he would do to get the ring if he heard that it would come within his reach.
So, finally they decided to use the darker path, although Boromir was against it.
