I've already played through the level before without any trouble, but now on this playthrough I'm getting a very annoying bug.

I'm at this section (http://www.tombraiderchronicles.com/underworld/beneath-the-ashes/walkthrough/images/screens_level_bta_b.html), and Lara simply will not grab the ledge in the last two screens. The camera pans out to show it, and Lara turns to face it, signaling that she can make the jump. However, when I jump to the ledge, she starts failing her arms like its a long fall and ends up grabbing the very bottom of that gate.

I've tried this jump about 20 times now, and its just ridiculous that she won't do it. The first time I played she grabbed it on the first try.

Do you guys know any way I can get around this glitch? Or should I try starting the level over?

Did you make sure the gate was fully down? Just checking because sometimes it gets stuck and you have to press the two levels again.

Yes. I've tried opening that gate and waiting for it to go back down before jumping, and I've also tried not opening it in the first place. Either way, she still won't grab the ledge.

I had a similar bug happen to me with TR:A in the doppleganger room. Lara just wouldn't grab one of the ledges, even though her body was actually making contact with it.

Got it!

I raised both gates and aimed Lara at the rised gate on that side. As soon as it went down, she was able to jump to the ledge.

Why she has to aim at the gate first is anybody's guess. Its the same distance!

This is why they shouldn't do these automated jumps.

I never made this jump, as she was just jumping down to the ledge of the lowered gate, as you said, so I thought it's the wrong way and made it by tinming the two gates, so that the one at the right is up for a longer time, so that I could do a backwards swandive onto this platform with the secretz from there.

Good job, sometimes I guess you just got to get the jump right on par.. that's why the controls can be annoying.. :(

Good job, though. :hug: :D
