Rocket jumping and walls

Hello,

I did a search prior and could not find exactly what I was looking for, so I apologize if this has been posted before.

Could anyone please inform me on how to do proper rocket jumps using only a wall?

You can see it being used heavily in this video:

I am currently practicing on this map and am trying to mimic what was in the video, but with little success. I try to propel myself forward by shooting the wall while I'm in air, but I only end up propelling myself away from the wall, which is not helpful. I have tried to find some tutorials on this, but have come up empty-handed. If anyone could please give me some tips I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you

hard to say what your precise problem is, but if you're moving away from the wall you're shooting directly to your side rather then behind you. if you're trying to go up then shoot further below you instead of directly in front of you, depends on which direction you're trying to go. maybe start out trying to wall jump yourself forward on the ground, it's significantly more useful anyway, as it can be used to get to the front faster in maps without gates.

If your aim is (roughly) perpendicular to the wall regardless of your y-axis coordinate and you are being pushed away from it that would be because your not moving toward the wall while you are firing. Everyone has different movement techniques for themselves, so however you are 'hugging/riding' the wall via forward, back, or moveleft/right, make sure your holding those when you fire. Also for it to be completely effective, make sure you are against the wall for the best splash damage. Try what Higgs suggested above and start by climbing a wall vertically by just holding the forward button. Hold forward, run into the wall aiming completely down, rocket jump and near the pinnacle of your height aim a bit higher and shoot again, all the while holding forward. From there you can experiment with different angles and timing in shooting to get various jump patterns. Just be glad there are no grenades (which I miss dearly).

It's important to strafe *towards* the wall WITHOUT holding down W. That way you will stay very close to the wall when you try to do the second jump. 

Hold down crouch the whole time.
