I'll admit this is the one segment that's partially out of laziness; the ladder climb is incredibly laborious when retrying. Then again, I'm pretty sure it did allow the rest of the level to be much more polished than it could have been otherwise. This is another ladder that lets you use a flare while climbing off.
At the ladder in the Egypt part if you jump and grab rather than use action you grab higher, but I think it's slower as you have to use the slow climb animation a couple of times before Lara will grab up and use the normal climb. I have to reposition a little while picking up the key off the Guard. In the underwater maze thing it may be slightly faster to use the UPV in the last couple of trips but its hard to tell. On the way to the crusher room I just use some medikits instead of going all the way back to the air hole. The course I take to the crushers ensures they are in the right position. On the way back after using the key I go low in the shaft on purpose as there are some weird invisible wall things around the trapdoor if you head directly for it.
This jump is extremely risky and hard so I segmented for it, you can also jump left for a much easier version, but it's slower too.
