1001 Spikes level 10-4: Tricky jump strategy
About midway into the level 10-4, there is a single-block of ice you need to land on, and to do it, you have to jump over a single-block of spikes just in front of it.
My problem is that even when I manage to execute the exact same jumps, the results are erratic. Sometimes it works, sometimes just doesn't.
I have tried some alternative methods many times(jumping from 1, 2, 3, and 4 pixels away from the leftmost pixel of the spikes while standing or running) but none seems to have a consistent result.
I think the jump mechanics there are similar to trying to jump over a single-block of spikes with the low-jump, and that if there is a consistent way to do one, it will also work for the other. But of course, I haven't found a way do that consistently either.
So my question is: Has anyone found a consistent method to make either of those jumps? By "consistent", I mean that the method works every time you manage to execute it correctly.

I've actually been struggling with this level a moment ago, which quickly went from "this puzzley level is my favorite in the game" to "this is the worst level ever". But I digress.
I haven't had the time to develop muscle memory for this jump because I got lucky, but the few attempts when I had an actual strategy I had most luck with this setup:
The left foot should be standing almost exactly one tile away from the spikes.
Please note that the actual screen is from a different location in the same stage, but the idea stays the same. It might also be that you have to be one pixel to the right, I am not 100% certain if I am pressing the two keys at the same frame.
