Cannot climb the base of the spire in Horizon: Forbidden West (sh.itjust.works)

I'm playing with the keyboard and mouse, and the climbing is very clunky so far overall, but it seems completely broken for the spire.

when I get to the second to the last hand holds and I have to reach out and then long jump to the highest hand holds so that I can jump into the spire, aloy reaches out but only jumps to the left or right off the spire, she will not jump up to the highest, final handhold, even if she's reaching straight up.

has anyone else played this with a mouse and keyboard instead of a controller?

I've tried different key bindings and default, but she only jumps left or right off the spire and refuses to jump up to the highest handhold.

it looks very much like this guys problem, but he's playing it with a controller and finally solved it, sayd his problem was custom key bindings and the solution was default, but I can't get anywhere with these keyboard controls.

yea, it's still during but tutorial. basically, it's the first time they're teaching you how to do long jumps from hand holds that are too far apart.

so if it's far above you you hold up, she bounces on her knees and then if you push jump, in the first game I remember she sort of short hops onto the handhold and then jumps off of the hand hold, but for forbid and West she just jumps left or right normally and will not jump up onto the next hand hold which is too far away.

it's very bizarre and I played the first game with a controller, so I'm not sure what is going wrong here.

I've made it to the handhold right before the last handhold before I jump into the tower. I assume because there's a giant open tower panel, but I can't get to the last handhold before I jump into the panel because she won't do the far jump, she only jumps left or right even if she's reaching toward the next handheld, it's really weird
