The Method in Climbing
In rock climbing, the Caruso Method® is founded on the principles that underlie ideal movement in the vertical dimension. These principles have made it possible to define the most effective techniques and progressions for developing capacity and motor intelligence.
The Movement Matrices
The Movement Matrices took shape at the end of a long journey of experience and reflection. As my exploration of climbing technique deepened, I naturally began to recognise the elements it shared with ice climbing, skiing, and—just as importantly—walking.

The Caruso Method® for skiing
The Method has led to significant progress in understanding—and therefore in teaching—the principles governing weight management on skis, both in ski mountaineering and off-piste skiing, as well as in adapting to the typical conditions of untracked snow.

The Method on Snow and Ice
The principles of movement on snow and ice are the same as those of rock climbing, with two main differences that limit the range of possible movements:
- ice is generally more uniform and regular than rock and does not allow for friction;
- crampons and ice axes generally result in a frontal stance to the face, with the feet on the front points
