I'm a bit confused - every other video I've watched says to use your toe, not the side of your foot. It allows you to move better or put multiple feet on a single hold. It almost seems like your suggesting to use the sides. I'm very new, can you clarify? Thanks!
I think what they mean when they say use your "toe" what they mean is your "toe box", so that whole front toe area. In this video, he says don't use your toe, as in literally the front-most part of the foot. So you should still be using your "toes" and not the side of the foot, but you want to use the inside/outside edges of your toes, which will allow you to bring your hips in closer to the wall. If you climb facing the wall square on the whole time, on the front of your toes, you will be more likely to fall off or get tired quicker.
