escalade
Scaling walls of fortifications with ladders was a common method of attack in ancient and medieval warfare. Soldiers would carry portable ladders to place against the walls and then climb up under arrow fire. This tactic required speed, agility, and bravery, as the attackers were vulnerable to projectiles and counterattacks from defenders. The use of ladders provided a direct approach to breach the fortifications and gain entry into the enemy stronghold.
A scale is the ratio of the contracted or dilated form with respect to the original form (the ratio of the sizes before and after the scaling operation). The scale factor is the magnitude of the scaling contraction or dilation (the shrinking or expanding) used in the scaling operation.

The attack on the walls of a fortress using ladders is an Escalade.
A scaling ladder was used for climbing and accessing fortifications, walls, or other high structures during military operations or sieges. It consisted of a long ladder with rungs or steps, often made of wood or metal, to assist soldiers in scaling vertical obstacles.
The scaling ladder was not invented by one specific person. It has been used as a tool for climbing and accessing heights for centuries. Different variations and designs of scaling ladders have been used by different cultures and civilizations throughout history.
They had scaling ladders, but the firing ports that the Texans had cut into the wall made a very handy staircase.
During the Middle Ages, the primary weapon used against castles and other fortifications was starvation. By laying siege to a castle, attackers could wait until the defenders' food ran out, thereby avoiding any costly attacks against the walls. Sometimes, however, frontal attacks (costly and otherwise) were made with the help of scaling ladders, rams, and siege engines that could hurl stones at the walls and otherwise batter the castle's defenses.

The splay prevented siege towers from being pushed up close to the castle walls. They also made it necessary to use very long scaling ladders at a shallow angle, which made it easy for them to break.
