Stuck on jump to statue lip after Orrery

[wigpeeler]

I am through the Orrery, through to where the undead guys are marching past, and at the point where you go sideways then up an ice face and along a finger of ice, and have to jump to catch the lip of a giant stone head. On the PC it is impossible it seems to get the camera behind Lara at this point so you cannot see properly if she is lined up for the jump. I have tried about 30 times now, both regular and grapple jumps, and miss the jump by being slightly left or right of the lips. On this finger you can only turn by 90 degrees so I cannot see how you can adjust the angle. Any suggestions on how to do this on a PC as I am stuck at this point now.

It's not impossible, as I can do it & have over dozens of times.
The trick to this is once you get up on the finger of ice, use "A" until you can switch to "W". The camera angle will try to stay behind Lara but force it to point towards the lips. She should make the jump.
It's the camera angle that allows her to make the jump.

Thanks, but even with fixed camera positioon on "Off" the camera will only sit a few "feet" off Lara's left shoulder. Nothing will turn it further left (the mouth is slightly right of centre screen so jump misses) and no fiddling and wiggling the mouse will get the camera behind her. Bah. Will have to put a ticket in with support I guess. Bah.

if you can't see where she will jump n grab, then your out of position, all the turning n twisting looking here n there, all for naught. find another vantage point and she will grab the wall.

I died 6 times today on that very same jump. You have to force your mouse to reposition the camera angle. The view needs to be of the lip, not Lara. Lara jumps where the camera is

Thats rite, but it is a 3rd person follow view, and you can't jump n grab what you can't see, and like you there are time's i will jump n miss again n again the dumb easy one's, then nail the more difficult one's every time.

Exactly Thumper...I miss the easy ones but the difficults come easy. I almost destroyed my KB yesterday & my family was rolling in the floor over it cuz I NEVER miss & spent all morning missing jumps.
Wigpeeler, I promise you if you'll force the camera angle to the lip you will make this jump.

I am replaying this game for fourth or fifth time and this jump is still a mess. I solved this jump by just pressing 'A' until I got close and then I hit the jump without giving the game a chance to reset the camera angle. The I hit 'E' to use the wire grapple to hock onto something. This is probably the worst jump in the game.

[Slow But Effective]

On the Mac the only way I could do it was to hold the A key down all the way down, then jump. Like Sssith except no axe throwing was needed. No stopping, no switching to W view, no trying to change the camera angle. Just run and jump using the A key the whole way. I tried the other suggestions here, missing around 30 jumps. But the A key + jump worked first try.
