The Cold War - Crossing the Chasm (On Foot)
and Open Area with Hostile Snowmobiler
In the last section, you killed several mercenaries and slid down into an area with a cave and two long ramps above another chasm.
IMPORTANT: There's a SnoCat parked in a side room off the cave with the switch. The "Snow March" achievement/trophy requires you to finish the first two levels without using snowmobiles. So we'll proceed on foot. If you'd rather ride, follow the classic guide instead.
Return to the mouth of the cave and step down onto the small ledge to the left of the long ramp.
There's another leopard (20) below. Shoot it with pistols from above.
Then turn around, hang from the edge, and climb down the long ice ladder. Grab some shotgun shells and flares (39-40) at the bottom.
Cross the chasm floor and climb the other ice ladder.
If you didn't deal with the orange-jacket guy (17) earlier, he'll be waiting at the top. Kill him quickly.
Grab his automatic pistol clips (41). Then carefully drop onto the ramp where the white-suited enemy fell and take his M16 ammo (42).
NOTE: There is another passage beyond where the orange-jacket guy fell. Ignore it for now. We'll return that way shortly.
Exit through the wooden door you opened earlier using the switch in the cave.
Run out into the open, climb onto the nearest raised wooden block, and await the arrival of a goon on a snowmobile (21) with mounted guns.
Stay on top of the block, so he can't run Lara over, and use the automatic pistols or M16 to take him out quickly.
Pick up the M16 clips (43) on top of the first block, automatic pistol ammo (44) on a snow ledge to the right of the door where you came in, and more M16 ammo and a large medi pack (45-46) on the third block.
Again, if you're after the "Snow March" achievement/trophy, ignore the enemy's snowmobile and continue on foot. Go through the doorway opposite the third wooden block.
Proceed through the building to emerge on the ledge above the chasm, where you killed the guy in the orange jacket earlier.

DARK MODE: I plan to add optional dark mode for these pages, but my current priority is updating the walkthroughs. Meanwhile, may I suggest a reputable dark mode browser extension, such as Dark Reader? (Download only from trusted sites, like darkreader.org or your browser's official add-on/extension site.)
