Jump or Spring Ball jump into a breakable Grapple block. The timing is precise and it can help to break two Grapple blocks to use one as a cue. Crystal Flash then X-ray climb to the region above (less than 1 screen). There is a chance that Samus will not be able to Crystal Flash unless first placing a Bomb or Power Bomb.

IBJ into a breakable Grapple block. The timing is very precise and requires a quick morph and ascent with precisely placed double bomb jumps.
