Like in every game since Super Metroid, you can bounce off of walls to gain height, although it is made infinitely simpler in this game. Here, you no longer need to press the opposite directional button as you can simply bounce off of a wall to jump. Single wall jumping as seen in Super Metroid and Metroid: Zero Mission is absent; however with the Spider Magnet you can use the same technique to climb up the blue magnetic walls. See Single Wall Jumping for more specific information.
There are more advanced types of wall jumps as well, such as buffered jumps or jumps that incorporate Dash Melees into them. All of these can be found in the general Tricks section.
