Got stuck after that challenge climb [Help]

[Michael Estie]

I got stuck in this area with the wind after performing the challenge climb, the way back seems to have shut itself and I don't know how to open the doors/ do the movement needed to progress so I'm effectively trapped :'(

I Managed to get the fae silver on the snowy platform but otherwise I'm stumped on how to progress beyond just making a new save and going a different direction.

The way back shouldn't have shut itself. There are 2 challenge climbs that lead up to that area, but one ends with a green door that you'll be able to unlock later. The other is open, you shouldn't have any trouble going back. Can you clarify on where exactly this way back is?

The area at the top is where I'm stuck, theres no path back to where i came, there are 2 sealed doors and a path that leads to the right which I'm not sure how to access

That screen looks like this https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/552059192819580938/1096715647129505792/image.png?width=1201&height=675

I don't think anything should be stopping you from going back the way you came, down the challenge climb. This isn't the indended route through the early game, far from it.
As for the second screenshot, it definitely is possible to make that jump through a lot of luck with trying to get the wind to swing you up while grappling to the wall (speaking from experience), but it's not something you should consider unless you're trying to sequence break in a very specific manner, and even for that there are better options.

You're right, I found my way back, I was running past the hole I needed to drop down, thanks for the help!
