Climbing an Arete

So I went to Rotary Park (Horsetooth Reservoir, Fort Collins CO) today and did some TR with friends. I thought I was climbing Knob Boy Arete (Cateye Wall), but now I don't think I really did it.

I'm getting the feeling I was supposed to have my body mass more on the right side of the Arete, and really I was on the left. It's not a big deal if I wasn't actually climbing the problem I thought I was climbing, but any input as to how I'm supposed to do it correctly, would be appreciated. Also, usually when climbing an arête, should the body be on the more vertical side? Thanks!

Hey John, I guess my real question is, if I was on the left side of this particular edge, does that count? Because if not, I'm not going to tick it.

Ship's Prow is on the list. ;)
