2) Take 2 big steps away and face the pillar.
3) Pretend the pillar is a stalactite and pretend that the space between you and the pillar is just air and that you are 15 ft above ground.
4) Psyche yourself.
5) Jump towards it as a gauge on whether you can make da move yo (and hug it for your dear life if desired, afterall, you are 15 ft above the ground).
6) Added realisticity- jump off from one of the Arts canteen black stools. Easier to imagine that you are 15 ft above the ground.
6) Make sure that your friends near you still acknowledge you.
