When Willard finally explodes, save the game. The last thing you want is to miss the next jump and have to fight him again.

Then approach the walkway flanked by 2 ladders.

Take a running jump from the angled edge of the walkway to grab either of the ladders.

Climb up until Lara's hands are level with the ledge. Climb sideways as far as you can toward the ledge...

...and pull up.

- OR -

Alternatively, climb past the top of the ladder onto the block with the carved face.

Then backflip onto the arm of the statue behind.

From there take a running jump to land on the ledge just beside the carved block

The steep slope ahead is where Lara entered during the last cut scene. Go through the snowy passageway on the left...

...

...to emerge on a ledge above the crater.
