From the starting point, move forward, grab onto the wall, and climb up once more.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Climb to the right then upward twice onto cracked wall at the top left. Climb to the right, then downward, breaking two more sections of cracked wall but leaving the fourth (at the lower right) intact.

Now climb back up onto the section of cracked wall at the top right. This causes the wall to break, dropping Lara onto the ledge below.

Pull the lever to shift the tan block to the right.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Grab onto the wall again and climb upward (onto the one section of cracked wall Lara hasn't touched yet) then left twice, then upward twice, to reach the tan block.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
To avoid the spider above, climb up once, then back down to the tan block. Then up three times until Lara is hanging level with the first spinning blade. Meanwhile, the spider moves back and forth, ending up in the middle of the wall facing left.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Climb to the right, upward onto the cracked wall, right again, then down. The spider and blades continue to move each turn but won't touch Lara.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Climb up, up, left, then up onto the ledge above. The upper blade moves off to the left, down, then upward again.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
When you reach the top ledge, the lizard immediately goes on the alert. To avoid it, move forward, to the upper right, to the lower right, back to the left, and then drop and hang from the ledge in the same spot where you climbed up.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
As you do this, the lizard follows in Lara's footsteps, ending up one space ahead of where it started. The blade just below moves back and forth in its track, ending up just to Lara's left about to move toward her.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Climb to the right, down, and then down again. The lizard tries to follow...

Lara Croft GO screenshot
...but the blade cuts the lizard down, and it falls onto the ledge below. Meanwhile the lower blade continues to move back and forth, but it should not be in your way when you reach this point.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Now climb back up the way you came—up twice, left, then up onto the ledge. (The upper blade keeps moving but should not interfere.) When you reach the top, smash the vase at the left corner of the ledge to get another piece of the SACRED BEETLE (6/11).

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Move to the left and climb down the wall to the lever.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Kick the lever to slide the tan block back to the left. Then climb down onto the cracked wall, back up to the lever (don't use it this time), and down onto the cracked wall again.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
The second time Lara tries to traverse the cracked section, it collapses, dropping her onto the tan block below. You can now proceed to the exit.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
In the next area, step to the left, grab onto the wall, and climb up once, left three times, and then up once more onto the nearer of the 2 cracked wall sections.

NOTE: When I played the Steam version of the game, there was a vase on the rocky ledge off to right containing a piece of the SACRED BEETLE. This doesn't seem to appear in other versions. Also, there are only three vases on the menu screen indicating the number of collectibles in this level. So I'm guessing this one is a bug.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
While you're hanging here, break another vase—this time off to the left—to get a piece of OBSIDIAN (7/13). Then climb down, to the right twice, and down again to the lever below.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Kick the lever to slide the tan block upward.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Now climb upward, left, right, then right again. As you climb, the spider directly above moves to the right, then back to the left. Now that the tan block has been repositioned, the spider will continue onto the cracked section, which the gives way causing the spider to tumble off the wall. (Meanwhile, the second spider, higher up on the wall, continues to pace back and forth.)

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Climb up twice. As you go, the second spider moves to the left twice and turns to face right. Use the second lever to slide the blue block forward so its front edge is flush with the climbing wall.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
The second spider is still in your way, so you'll need to take the long route to the exit: Climb down twice, then all the way to the left side of the wall, then up to the second cracked section.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
By the time Lara is about to move up onto the blue block, the second spider should have headed off to the right, leaving the way clear for you to climb up to the exit.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
In the next area, move once to the left. Grab onto the wall and climb up once, then left past the cracked wall and the lever (don't use it yet), and then up onto the pressure pad with the yellow diamond.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Stepping on the pad extends the block trap just to the right, pushing the first of 3 freestanding pillars off the edge and into the chasm below. From here on the upper ledge, you can also see a vase in the background just to the right of the third pillar. Smash it to obtain another OBSIDIAN (8/13).

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Hang from the edge, climb to the right, and kick the lever to slide the brown block to the right so it meets the lower walkway.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Climb onto the ledge above and pull the second pillar to the left.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
In the process, Lara steps on the pressure pad again, activating the block trap and pushing the pillar off the ledge onto the brown block below.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Hang from the edge, climb to the right (so Lara is hanging above the lever), then climb onto the upper ledge. Move to the right and pull the third pillar once to the left.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Hang from the edge again. Then climb to the right onto the cracked wall, which gives way dropping Lara onto the walkway below.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Pull the pillar once, off the brown block.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Climb back onto the upper ledge and push the pillar twice.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
As you push the pillar onto the pressure pad, the block trap springs out, shoving Lara off the ledge so she lands on the brown block below.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
Push the pillar here three times until it falls off the edge into the gap.

Lara Croft GO screenshot
You can now use the pillar to hop across to the exit.
