At the very start of the mission, go into the hallway with the Grunt. Once you enter the hallway, look across from the door and there will be a light. Jump on the light then crouch jump (jump and hold Crouch) to the roof. Look to the left past the Blind Skull passage and you will see a ledge. Walk to the ledge, look to the left, and there should be a hole and a hallway-like ledge that you can jump to. Jump to it. Walk to the end until you hit an invisible barrier, then look to the right wall. Do a grenade jump to a rooftop beside the wall.

If you cannot make it, try getting the Sputnik mode skull first. Go to the right, and you may hit an invisible barrier. However, you can jump over it. Look to the right and jump onto the rooftop. Look straight ahead, and there should be a hole and a building. Jump over or go around the hole. Hug the building, but walk along the rooftop toward the courtyard. When you get as far as you can go toward the courtyard, go to the left. Go as far as you can and get on the black ledge to the right. Go to the far end of the ledge, then look to the left and get on the rooftop. There will be another hole that you can jump over or go around. Go to the right and go to the far end and take a left. You will find a half-destroyed bridge-like building. Get on it and stop.

Watch out for the hole in the middle. Look to the right, and there will be two pillars holding up the bridge. Get on the closest one to you. Run across it and jump to the closest rooftop. Run to the far end of the rooftop and jump as far as you can. You may fall in an area, but can climb out on boxes. You should now be at the area where the Pelican arrives to pick up Sarge. It may not arrive, but if it does not it is not a problem. Then, continue the level as usual.
