Christof Rauch with 176 8A's and harder last two years

Stefan Koechel has made a nice interview with Christof Rauch, the person who has done most 8A's in the world since 2015. Looking at your ticklist of 2015 and 2016 I count incredible 176 ascents fb 8A and harder and the year isnโ€™t even over yet. That means every 4th day you topped out a problem in the 8th grade. How does your body cope with this constant strain? Any advice for injury prevention? Basically I do a lot of stretching and I have to apply a special massage to my forearms and fingers every day due to chronic tendinitis in most of my fingers. I got the inflammations a few years ago when I did 5 sessions a week without any stretching. Now I never climb more than two days in a row and everything is fine. Sometimes I still get some small injuries but in the past I was lucky enough to get nothing too bad.
