  • 1 of 4: Warning: spoilers follow, since there's no way to give clues here.
  • 2 of 4: Drop down twice from the fence, and slide left until you're past the hole on the top ledge.
  • 3 of 4: Climb up and then drop back down to the second ledge when you're past a hole on that ledge.
  • 4 of 4: Go as far as you can to the left on the second ledge and to the third ledge and finally to solid ground below that.
