Place a bomb near the bull's-eye target. Then stand on the SE side of the pit directly opposite the golden ring. Grapple the ring so the cable extends across the middle of the pit and column.

Still holding the grapple button, detonate the bomb to flip the target and raise the column. As it rises, the spikes on top retract and the grapple cable wraps over the top of the column.

When it stops moving, jump off the edge of the pit toward the column.

Quickly press up on the left stick (or press the Up direction key if using a keyboard) to climb the cable to the top of the column. Pick up a Stone Arrow Artifact (+ weapon, - bomb). Jump down to the edge of the pit and return to the main area.
