...drop down into the pit to retrieve the Explorer Satchel (1/1). This adds the locations of 3 survival caches to your map.

NOTE: These caches were covered earlier in the walkthrough, but if you didn't find them, you'll be able to fast travel back for them soon.

But you'll need to press Interact again to latch on. (If she slips, press Interact again at the prompt for a saving grab.) Then climb to the right, jump to grab the next thin handhold, and climb along to the right until you can pull up.
