Who it is for

Designed for those who don’t have free weekends, or don’t want to spend them in a group

You already climb

You want to work on a specific point: feet, balance, managing fatigue, reading the route. One targeted lesson is worth months of trying on your own.

You’re in the area for a few days

On holiday or for work in Tuscany: a day at the crag with someone who knows the walls, without having to organise anything.

Active over-65s

The Caruso Method works on balance and movement, not on strength. You learn at your own pace, with someone who follows you step by step.

You work flexible hours

Freelancer, remote worker or shift worker? Take a morning on the wall, when the crags are empty.

What we work on

Less strength, more movement

Every lesson starts from how you move today. The Caruso Method breaks the gesture of climbing down into simple principles, which you learn and find again on any route:

· Use of the foot on the hold
· Body posture on the wall to waste less energy
· Rhythm and breathing in the static and dynamic phase
· The Method’s progressions (Fundamental, Triangle and complementary)

How it works

Three steps, and you’re on the wall

You write to me

On WhatsApp or through the form: tell me your level, what you want to improve and the days you are free.

We organise

I suggest the day, time and crag that suit you best, and tell you what to bring.

A tailor-made lesson, with clear feedback on what you did well and what to keep working on.

Your guide

Mattia Filippi

First-degree Sport Climbing Instructor (Maestro di Arrampicata Sportiva), Caruso Method, registered with IAMAS. My training began at the Scuola Graffer in Trento.

I teach a climbing made of conscious movement, balance, fluidity and control of the gesture: strength comes later, and you need much less of it than you think.

Where

Crags of central-northern Tuscany and Maremma

Full day

Foce di Compito, Ravi

Frequently asked questions

Do I already need to know how to climb?

No. The lesson adapts to someone who has never touched rock as well as to someone who has climbed for years and wants to unlock a specific aspect.

What equipment do I need?

You will need a harness, climbing shoes and a helmet.

Can I come with a friend?

Yes: the “Two people” format exists for exactly this, and the cost per person goes down.

How far in advance should I book?

Write to me as soon as you have an idea of the days: there is more availability during the week than at weekends, and a place can often be found even with a few days’ notice.
