Crash Site Detail - Cave with Switches (Page 1 of 2)
Once inside the larger inner cave area, hop down to the ledge below the doorway. Turn around to face the entrance. Then go into the alcove on the left and use the first switch to rearrange the bars on the ceiling.
After using the switch, the bars are as they appear above. Get the save/power-up crystal on the pillar below. This is not shown, but the direction is indicated in the first screenshot above. To get back up to the entrance, take a standing jump to grab the ledge from which you jumped previously. Pull up and then climb back up into the doorway. (This is shown in screenshot 6, below, in case you need a visual.)
From the entrance, use the ceiling bars to traverse straight across to the other side.
When Lara's chest is against the wall, briefly release Action and then re-press and hold it to grab onto the climbable wall. Climb down, left, then up into the alcove with the second switch. Pull it to rearrange the bars again.
The second switch moves the bars as shown above.
After using the second switch, turn around, walk to the edge and then take a standing jump down to the pillar where you got the crystal before. Jump to grab the ledge below the entrance and pull up. Use the first switch again to rearrange the ceiling bars.
Now the bars should look like this.
Climb back up into the doorway and, this time, traverse all the way around the thick stone structure at the center of the cave to the far side of the room. (The back side of the stone tructure is not shown, but just keep going all the way around to the far side, as shown by the broken lines.)
