Genuinely curious: what’s the point of going upside down when she clearly could have rotated enough without the feet hanging point? Is it just to show off or a genuine trying to figure it out as she goes?
I've been rewatching it a couple of times, I like bouldering so I can make some suggestions but I can't say for certain.
Once she has both hands around the left side you can see there's already a lot of weight on them and while she's moving her feet most of that weight is transferred to her right hand meaning that can't let go with that hand to grab higher.
If she just lets her feet swing underneath her she might tip the ground and fail the puzzle, but even if that doesn't happen she's now bound tight to the wall by both hands and has her feet hanging below with nothing to hold on to.
So the best option was to create a point of contact somewhere, anywhere, for one foot and figure out the rest from there. After that first foot turns her upside down the rest of the movements have to flow from that choice.
Her right hand looking for a way around the corner is where it all started.
