Smearing is a term used in rock climbing.

 Rock Climbing Forums: Climbing Information: Beginners: Need help on smearing
I generally try point my feet out to the sides, and smear on the edges of my shoes, where the rubber is substantially softer.
Flat wall smearing like what you describe will require the using the area between your toes and the ball of the foot.
Without seeing you climb, I'm going to step out on a limb and guess that your problems with smearing have less to do with the way you're positioning your foot, how hard you're pressing, or what the wall texture is like, and more to do with your body positioning.

 Permeability change during experimental fault smearing
Smear sourced from shale or clay is thought to provide an across-fault barrier to fluid flow in sedimentary rocks.
The duration of regime 2 and of smear continuity recorded provide measures of the sealing potential produced by the smear.
The shale smear factor SSF, defined as (fault throw)/(thickness of low-permeability layer), shows that there may be a relation between seal potential and effective normal stress.

 4.5.4.1 Bandwidth- and time-smearing
Of the three aberrations, bandwidth smearing is the easiest to deal with as it affects the data exactly as if the sky intensity distribution itself was smeared, at least insofar as all the telescope bandpasses are identical.
Near the pole smearing is predominantly azimuthal, and near the equator it is predominantly east-west.
For this reason the tolerable level of integration-time smearing is generally smaller than for bandwidth smearing.

 SMEARING CHOMSKY - THE GUARDIAN IN THE GUTTER
On November 4, we published a Media Alert, 'Smearing Chomsky', detailing the Guardian' s October 31 interview with Noam Chomsky by Emma Brockes.
Given that the paper was now under significant public pressure – having published its initial fabrications about Chomsky, and also the further smear pairing his letter with that of an understandably outraged Bosnian survivor - this ‘spoof' was in extremely poor taste, to say the least.
This bias is exactly reversed when the Guardian interviews powerful figures such as Bill Clinton - then instinctive support for fellow ' liberals' and keen awareness of their ability to hit back with real force combine to produce fawning hagiography, as we have discussed elsewhere.

I mean, even if you hate the guts out of the party apparatus, there are still at least a handful of good people in the party (and, in my opinion, much more than just a handful) who could use your support.
I'm counting on an election like 2006, where the GOP is wracked by scandal, is riven with an incredibly weak slate of candidates, a weakening economy with the middle class getting nickled and dimed like never before (though nowhere near so much as the working class over the past two decades), continued quagmire in Iraq.

Bridwell demonstrates the two types of foot holds: smearing, in which the foot is flat to the rock, and edging, where the boot is used to wedge into the rock.
The trick, Sutton explained, to climbing a friction slab, is a motion called “smearing,” in which the palms of the climber’s hands, fingers pointing down, and the balls of his rubber-soled shoes are pushed into and twisted against the granite’s surface.
With his rump high in the air so that his weight is distributed evenly over the smear spots, the climber spider-walks up the surface.

I described to her my concerns about academic independence going back to the days when I was a Marxist at Columbia in the McCarthy period and how for half a century I have been a fierce opponent of McCarthyism in all its forms.
She ignored my testimony as well as my public record of my writingsto cite "some [unnamed] professors" who claim that my efforts to defend academic freedom are really a form of "academic McCarthyism." Smears like this are, in fact, what McCarthyism is about.
Most egregious is her one-sided account of the incident at the University of Missouri where a biology professor named Miriam Golomb launched a one-woman crusade against my speaking appearance -- offering students academic credit to protest my speech and smearing me as a racist.

 The prime-time smearing of Sami Al-Arian - Salon   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
The entire controversy sprang from the fact that viewers became enraged after old allegations were re-aired, albeit often in mangled form, by O'Reilly.
O'Reilly's accusatory and hectoring interrogation of Al-Arian, filled with false statements and McCarthy-like smears, climaxed in a chilling parting shot in which the host repeatedly told his stammering guest that if he were with the CIA, "I'd follow you wherever you went" -- clearly implying that he believed Al-Arian was a terrorist.
Not surprisingly in the fearful and hysterical climate after Sept. 11, the show resulted in a torrent of angry calls, including death threats against al-Arian, to USF.
