A slower way to skip this puzzle, but uploaded it mainly to showcase a new long jump.

Still tinkering with it atm, but basically, shoulder charges done off ledges don't cut off when Gabriel is past the ledge. (But you need to be standing just beyond the "lip" that ledges have in order to stop this type of exploit).

This results in some pretty good distance, and as a bonus you still get your 2nd jump at the end of it. Now, the type of distance you get (& height loss) depends - not only - on the type of ledge you do the technique. But it also depends on exactly where Gabriel is standing on any particular ledge.

I found that placing Gabriel's foot/feet only JUST beyond the "lip" of each ledge (on top of it), allows the best distance & lessens height loss. If you do it with Gabriel's feet too far over the lip, he tends to drop like a rock.

I tried this at the music box. The shoulder charge alone, nearly gets you all the way across the gap, but unfortunately the death collision is so high up near the ledge that you don't manage to use your 2nd jump before you "die".

From some mild testing (and depending on the ledge that it's done on), you can get much further distance with this long jump than your regular sprint/wing-jump.

There may be more to this technique, needs more tests.

EDIT: You'll notice that Gabriel breaks out of his charge animation & glides through the air in a standing pose...curious...
