you need to learn to walk across the bad guys heads.
in this case its easy, later on it gets more and more challenging.

make sure 2 guys are following you, go to the short stubby ladder on
the right of the middle block of the lowest level. climb to the top
and wait. just as the first guy is about to reach you, step across his 
head and hang from the little pole.  repeat for the next gap.

the higher levels are even more time consuming (wasting)
quit now and get back to your thesis! (me too :)
