The Orange Box: Half-Life 2: Episode Two Hints
How could I get back up after dropping down here?
1 of 5: By first getting three barrels from the behind-the-fence area near the SMG grenade crate.
2 of 5: Drop all three barrels down into this area, then drop down yourself.
3 of 5: Set each barrel upright, then make a 2-1 barrel staircase next to the wall you dropped down off of.
4 of 5: You can now jump back onto the wall from the top of the two-barrel stack and crouch-walk back to the SMG grenade crate, plus whatever else you'd want up there later.
5 of 5: That means you could use SMG grenades freely in the fights ahead, and keep going back for more. (Though that would get a bit tedious due to the long trip.)
