If anyone has virtual reality cardboard for their smartphone (or the super expensive VR headsets), I highly recommend watching Capturing Everest on the Sports Illustrated website. I've only watched the first episode and it blew me away. There's some incredible scenes of Kathmandu and the trek through the Khumbu Valley (including some hair raising suspension bridge crossings). Can't wait to see the actual mountain scenes. I love the future.

From what I've read, Honnold doesn't even really free solo that often and he's definitely not an adrenaline junkie like so many that have died before him. I recall an interview where he says that if he feels any adrenaline while free soloing, it means something has gone horribly wrong. I get the impression that he's probably done free soloing after El Cap, it was literally his life's work.
