After unlocking the big, carved doors, as described in the previous section, the wheel mechanism with the two handlebars will work. Face the wall with the stained glass windows, approach the wheel mechanism and grab the handle on the right. (You could use the other handle, but this one will put Lara in a better position for the next part of the sequence.) Walk forward to push the handle, turning the wheel counterclockwise and gradually cranking open the door above.
When you've gone halfway around, the door will be open all the way, and you won't be able to turn the wheel any farther. As soon as Lara lets go of the handle, the door starts to close again. You don't have much time to reach the exit. So run or sprint forward, past the octagonal structure and around to the right side of the big square column near the bars.
Grab the lowest handhold on the column. (There are handholds on the other side as well, but running straight from the wheel to the right side of the column is faster.)
Climb up the column as far as you can go.
The overhanging ledge prevents you from climbing all the way to the top. Traverse to the right along the narrow band of dark-colored stone until Lara is hanging with her back toward the stone angel.
Jump straight up to grab the top edge of the column and pull up.
Step forward to the opposite edge and grapple the metal ring on the ceiling. Step off and swing forward through the big doors before they close. At the end of the swing, press Jump to release the cable and land in the hallway ahead.
