Although it was mentioned earlier, I want to expand. This quest drove me nuts and even with the walk, strafe etc I still have trouble. Earlier someone mentioned "use right click to move" and I wanted to go into that more bc it's foolproof.
Go to:
Game Menu
Interface
Mouse
Click to Move.
Make each pillar your target, right click dead center and your character will walk there and stop. Do the next pillar etc. Three moves and done.
Use the right click move-to mechanism and you will not fall off the rope!

Description
Aysa has been meditating on the lake since we've arrived, all her thoughts focused on Dafeng. I don't know what she hopes to discover out there, but she's no fool, and Master Shang Xi has entrusted this task with her. You will need to cross the ropes leading from the end of the dock to reach her. It shall test your balance, but I think you're up to the task, {name}.

Where this quest fits
Before this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Stronger Than Bone
This giant jade tiger pillar doesn't seem to fit in amidst the hozen buildings. What it does seem is very hard. Very solid. You know just the person to bring this to.
After this quest
Taken from the storyline's own step order.
- Dafeng, the Spirit of Air
If you listen long enough, the wind will carry the answer to you. Dafeng, the spirit of air, has been scared from the skies by Zhao-Ren, the Onyx Serpent. He hides within the Chamber of Whispers, at the south side of the plateau. Go to him. Ji and I will join you there.
