As demonstrated in the [https://youtu.be/GikrlIBfjfY tutorial here], even with a perfect lineup and input timing, you may achieve either too little or too much height. It is recommended not to attempt this method until reaching the sub-2:55 mark.

 For a quick technical explanation: every time you crouch and uncrouch while in the air, Master Chief's hitbox becomes slightly displaced. By performing a single crouch-uncrouch input at the apex of a jump—specifically at the pipe section—the top of Chief's hitbox is able to breach through to the other side. Since the player's camera is contained within this part of the hitbox, this allows the player to clip through and break to the other side.
