Half-Life 2: Episode One Hints
A Painful Shortcut
1 of 3: Instead of continuing on past that narrow left ledge, drop off of it to land on the lift that's a ways below.
2 of 3: You'll lose a lot of health, but not enough to die.
3 of 3: After the lift goes up and then back down again, get off it and go for the nearby Combine recharger. It'll get your health back up to 100 (and your armor to 200).
