canSandGrappleBoost (Extreme)

Sink very slightly into a sand pit with an enemy nearby, close to the sand line. Jump while firing grapple and aim down as soon as Grapple hits the enemy. This will allow Samus to jump higher than with just a normal jump.

Item

Lure a Puyo close to the sand to use for a Sand Grapple Boost. As it is close to entering the sand, land on the sand and crouch. Very quickly after crouching shoot the grapple and jump. As soon as the Puyo is killed aim down to escape the sand. If the timings don't work out just right, too much height is lost to the sand. Crouching in sand is also a high softlock risk.

Use the respawning Zoas as a grapple target to get a sand boost in order to reach the ledge above. Shoot Grapple just after landing on the sand. Jump as soon as the Zoa is hit, and aim down to escape the sand. Avoid getting hit by killing the extra Zoas since falling into the sand is a softlock.
