This topic can be closed out. I got it figured out. Apparently, if you take more than point 3 seconds to try and grapple the ring after you jump, the grapple won't hold. Need to be fast!

I know, it's basic, it's stupid, but she just won't grapple the ring!!! I've been at this for an hour now... bear with me and I will copy and paste the part of the walkthrough that I'm having a problem with. My exact problem will be in CAPS.... I'm playing the game on PS2... LEVEL 10: OBELISK OF KHAMOON SLOPE-TO-STEPS ROOM: The metal ring on the wall ahead is retracted, so you can't grapple it yet. Slide down the long slope to land on the shorter one below. Slide to the floor and immediately take aim at the cat mummy standing to the right. If you circle around to the left, shooting constantly, you can probably take it down before it reaches Lara. Pick up the shotgun shells on the floor and 2 small medipacks—one in the small alcove with two entrances, one in the leftmost of the three raised alcoves. (There's an additional small medipak in the Wii game on the floor in plain sight.) Climb into the raised alcove on the right and use the switch to change the slope into block steps, open the two barred doorways and extend the metal grappling ring on the wall near the entrance. CHECKPOINT 13 registers after these changes occur. Pull the movable block out of the little alcove and go in behind the block to find another small medipack. CLIMB ONTO THE BLOCK AND JUMP TO GRAB THE HANDHOLD ABOVE. JUMP TO THE HANDHOLD ABOVE THEN JUMP TO THE LEFT AND GRAPPLE THE METAL RING ABOVE. Wall run back and forth and jump to the left to grab the handhold in the corner. If you grab the scarab switch below instead, quickly jump up to the handhold before the switch descends too far. Climb to the left and jump to the ledge. She just won't grapple the ring!!! Am I forgetting something or just doing something wrong? Anyone who knows can just email me at hwing13@yahoo.com as that is the best way to get ahold of me. Thanks.
