How to get to Baur's Reach?

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2022575863
I swear I've been over ever inch of that area with the sleeping bear and I have no clue how to progress further. Looks like I'm supposed to go to the upper right and find a switch but I can't do that since I can't get to to frozen vine, though even if I did I'd just slip right off it. Am I missing something super obvious? I've been stuck for over an hour trying different things but the quest only says I need another wisp and that it's in Baur's Reach.

Well, as you figured out, you need to "unfreeze" those things to progress.
Don't want to spoiler you too much, but I also spent like an hour to figure out the obvious: bring some heat to the ovens!

And so spots are big cauldrons that spit a fire ball after getting hit with the wind blast ability, you then have to redirect the fireblase to some sort of stove in the area that is covered in ice. After this some area loses all ice, you have to do this several times till you get a skill to throw a fireball

What does one of these stoves look like? I don't really see anything like that anywhere near either of the cauldrons that I have access to, the one below the sleeping bear in the screenshot and the one at the top of the base area which leads into the underground ice area.

Nvm, I found what's supposed to be a stove. Geez, that's obtuse. Just looks like a generic part of the background like a shrine or something. That's so stupid.

I found this bit frustrating as well. I feel more could be done to show players how things work and also to remind them. I mean, Ori has a Navi sprite, so the ability to give clues and reminders is right there in the game.

Yeah, I also think part of the problem was that you're not supposed to be able to get out of that pit area where you first are supposed to learn about the stoves without solving the puzzle. Had I been trapped there I would have found the stove quickly and known the mechanic but since you can use the fireball made by the cauldron to escape I figured that is what it was for and chalked up the pointlessness of the area to be due to the fact everything's going to be unfrozen at some point.
