2.4.1  How do I jump from the grey block to the first column?

            This is sometimes a problem for people.  First you have to
            push the grey block all the way to the end of the little
            trench so that it is lined up directly with the shortest
            yellow stone column.  Then you have to walk to the very
            edge of the grey block and take a standing jump and grab.
            The only trick to this is that the distance between the
            block and the column is so short that you have very little
            time to press the action key to grab the column.  You must
            press all the keys in quick succession for it you be
            successful.
