The Run

This is the simplest run of this map I could think of.
Part 1 refers to the first door switch around the Gauss Turret near the bounce block.
Part 2 refers to the third door switch at the bottom left of the map and the exit switch.
Part 3 refers to any time after the sliding door at the bottom of the shaft after getting the exit switch.

Part 1 route: Easy
Part 2 route: Easy
Part 3 route: Easy

Alternate routes (Tested, but not in a demo yet):
Part 1: Medium
-Hold right as you hit the first circle and bounce off the lower circle and you should hit the side of the small square platform, allowing you to walljump to between the circles instead of running below or above them.
Part 1: Hard
-Jump off the ramp at the beginning and dodge the rockets as you make your way to the leftmost wall of the two shafts. You can walljump to the door switch without getting blasted by the Gauss Turret or a rocket if you time it right.
Part 2: Hard
-Instead of waiting for the Chaingun drone to make its way down to the lower area so you can easily dodge its shots, dodge rockets until it gets about halfway down and charge it. If the drone is just at the end of a move to the right, it should fire above your head as you run past it. This is the most difficult thing to pull off in this map.

Other tricks:
You can get a missile from the upper-right Homing turret to follow you down the right-hand shaft if you wait for a split-second in its view, then hug the left wall. Just be sure you know how to break your fall quickly at the end.
