Horizontal Pole

The Horizontal Pole also Swing Pole, is an obstacle found in Tomb Raider Chronicles, Tomb Raider Legend, Tomb Raider Anniversary and Tomb Raider Underworld. Lara can swing around such a pole and if it's long enough even move along its length. She can also jump from one pole to the next.

In Underworld, Lara is able to climb up onto poles to walk across them. Some can even be pulled from the wall to be used as weapon or inserted into another hole in the walls.

Tomb Raider Anniversary

In Tomb Raider Anniversary there are two types of horizontal poles, those that are firmly attached and those that can be moved. The latter swing around when Lara jumps towards them. After Lara lets go, they might stay in place, or swing back.

There are seven of these obstacles throughout the level. One of them swings around when Lara grabs hold. To get the Relic Killer Whale Bottle, Lara has to jump towards the bar that swings around and quickly jump to the ledge in the wall, before she can't reach it anymore.
