Crawl in and grab the large medi pack on the right. Then light a flare and climb into the raised opening.

Watch out for the rolling laser trap ahead. Hold the Crouch button as you crawl forward to prevent Lara from standing. Turn left...

...and as the laser array moves past you toward the other end of the passageway, quickly crawl forward up the slope.

At the top of the slope, Lara can stand, and the lasers can't touch her. Pick up another large medi pack.

Then turn around and step forward to the crawlspace. Crouch down but don't crawl forward yet. Wait until the laser array comes toward you. Then crawl after it as it moves away.

When you reach the low point in the passageway, stay crouched, facing the slope ahead, and when the lasers pass overhead going in the other direction...

...stand, run forward to the ladder, and climb up.

As soon as Lara manages to grab the ladder and pull her legs up, she's safe.
