Best Answer
You crouch-jump, and shoot a rocket at your feet.
Make sure you're as far as possible from the ground the moment the rocket hits the ground to make sure you're not damaged too much. The last part might take some practising.
By the way, Valve has included a training weapon in the game called the Rocket Jumper. With it, you get twice the ammo and no self-inflicted damage. It's not useful out in the field, really. It can be crafted or bought in the Mann-Co store for $0.49 / £0.29 / €0.49.
