Have you tried jumping and pressing the button while Lara is in the air? IIRC starting from the ground can be problematic sometimes.

It's a wonky mechanic. It was wonky in 2013, it's still wonky. If you press too early in the jump, you fail. If you hold it too long in the jump, you fail. It seems to change with every map, too. In one you have to hit it late so you get the "grab" QTE, in others you have to roll from the jump button to the axe button as soon as you launch.

Have you tried using the "E" key to interact with objects

[Jokery]

on pc its E not F to use axe unless u changed it

[peter.bowers]

Thanks people.
Problem surted, thanks to Jokery!

According to the game itself the key to use is E. This was the point at which I applied for a refund. Several minutes spent repeatedly jumping to my death was enough.
