From Adventure Peaks website:

5th November: The team are all back together in Base Camp now after a great effort from Alex to summit Baruntse. Due to an onset of sickness and upset stomach Alex, Francis and the 2 Sherpas turned around at 6600m, but this still gave Alex valuable experience for his future plans.

4th November: Unfortunately due to an upset stomach and old knee injury 2 of the clients have returned to Base Camp leaving Francis and Alex planning their summit attempt at Camp 1 yesterday. Depending on the wind they plan on setting off around midnight local time. Good luck guys!
