At this point you have a choice of paths by which to exit this area. If you don't mind losing a little health, take this shortcut:

Follow the path away from the mask pedestal and step out onto the small, square ledge on the right.

If you look over the edge, you'll see another square ledge below. That's where you're headed.

Walk to the edge and hop back once.

Then take a standing jump with Action...

...to land on the lower ledge. Some loose rocks will land on the ledge behind Lara, and she'll lose about half her health in the fall, but she should survive. (Now skip the rest of the screenshots on this page and continue with part 4.)

- OR -

If you'd rather play it safe, after picking up the mask, walk back along the path.

If you go slowly and carefully, the falling rocks should land in front of Lara, instead of on her. Then you can hop over them.

The same is true when crossing the stone bridge. Walk across and the falling rocks will land ahead of you. Then you can jump over them.

When you reach the fork where you killed the wasp earlier, go left toward the torch, but stop before you reach it.

To avoid the next cluster of falling rocks, run across the square to the right of the torch but be sure to stop just beyond it to avoid falling into the lava pit ahead.

Then take a running jump across the lava and continue around to the right.

There are no falling rocks in this next stretch of cave, so just run forward to the left corner and you'll end up at the top of the steps where you climbed out of the quicksand earlier.

Descend the steps and turn right to face out across a deep chasm.

Take a running jump from the bottom step over the chasm.

When you land on the square, corner ledge, immediately hop back and grab the edge to avoid more falling rocks. Then pull up.
