What is "edging"?

Edging is a climbing technique used when a climber places the edge of their shoe on a small hold or surface, typically on a rock or a climbing wall. The climber uses the precision of the shoe's edge to gain grip and support while pushing upward or sideways. Edging is commonly used in rock climbing, especially on small footholds, where a climber must rely on their shoe's edge to maintain balance and conserve energy while climbing. This technique is important for routes that involve tiny or sharp footholds.

Examples
