What is it?

The Caruso Method® makes climbing movements explicit: feet, centre, gaze, breathing, final movement, supports and progressions. It helps people climb more efficiently, more fluidly, more safely and with more joy.

Roots of movement

Ground exercises, with poles or on blocks, develop motor intelligence. They prepare climbing, hiking, ski touring, ice climbing and other mountain practices.

Training path
