'''Escalade''' is the act of scaling [[defensive wall]]s or ramparts with the aid of [[ladder]]s, and was a prominent feature of [[siege]] warfare in [[Middle Ages|medieval]] times. It was one of the most direct options available for attacking a fortification, but was also one of the most dangerous.
