It depends a little bit on the context (and I assume the word 'braced' is a bit confusing here), but another way to put it could be:
"She supported herself with one hand and reached up with the other"
Or maybe,
"She held on tightly with one hand and reached up with the other".
to brace is to get yourself ready for an impact that might throw you off balance or hurt you. It can also be used in a figurative sense - "He braced himself for the harsh words"

Thanks a lot! So the person here is climbing to higher place?

Right, then here she is bracing herself against the possibility of falling, or against the extra weight she's going to place on her arm as she reaches up.
In other words, she's holding on tightly :)
