He very inelegantly uses the back of Jacob's head and the edge of the roof opening he can reach to brace himself as he lifts a fancy shoe to step on a professional assassin and get up there. Once he has enough purchase on the roof he can haul himself the rest of the way up, so just enjoy getting knocked in the face with his knee for a minute here— And there he goes, disappearing up onto the roof. It was an adequate job.]
