  Escalade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Escalade is the act of scaling defensive walls or ramparts with the aid of ladders, and was a prominent feature of siege warfare in medieval times.
Some of the measures taken to counter escalade included the digging of moats (which prevented ladder-bearing soldiers from reaching the base of a wall) and the construction of machicolations (which facilitated attacks on enemy soldiers while they climbed).
Escalade was, in essence, an attempt to overwhelm defenders in a direct assault rather than sit through a protracted siege.

 Fête de l'Escalade
During the night of the 11th to the 12th of December 1602, the longest night of the year according to the Julian calendar, the combined forces of the Duke of Savoy and his brother-in-law, Philip III of Spain, launched a night attack on the proud and independent city-state of Geneva.
When she realized the city was being attacked, the mother of fourteen children seized a large cauldron of soup she had on the fire and hurled it onto the head of a Savoyard mercenary.
The commemoration of the Escalade was often banned, notably under the Napoleonian occupation of 1798.

 2007 Cadillac Escalade - Road Tests - Car and Driver - May 2006
But there’s no denying the Escalade’s popularity with various high-visibility individuals — professional athletes, X-gamers, pop stars — and there’s no denying that, as a consequence, the new Escalade had to upstage the bling quotient of its predecessor.
The Escalade irons out unruly patches of pavement without resorting to the mushy suspension tuning that still afflicts so many big SUVs, and the steering actually lets the driver know what’s going on, a welcome improvement on the overly assisted recirculating-ball system previously employed.
That’s not exactly tepid, but the ’07 Escalade trumps it with a new 6.2-liter all-aluminum cam-in-block (the word pushrod has been banished from the GM lexicon) eight whose increased displacement is enhanced by variable valve timing.

The Escalade's capable foundation is the new GMT800 platform shared with the Chevy Tahoe, GMC Yukon, and Yukon Denali.
The first Cadillac to display the new "wreath and crest," the '02 Escalade is more than so-called "badge engineering." Equipment specific to the model, such as a 345-hp V-8, further differentiates it from other GM products.
Cadillac was pleased to announce that its version of the 6.0L Vortec motor-also a brand exclusive-allows the Escalade to claim the title of "World's Most Powerful SUV." At a whopping 345 hp, it outdoes the former holder of that title, the Mercedes-Benz ML55 AMG-though by a mere 3 hp.

 2002 Cadillac Escalade Car Reviews - The Car Connection
The 2002 Cadillac Escalade SUV is clearly distinctive, stylistically and functionally, from the Chevy Tahoe/GMC Yukon upon which it is based.
However, the problem with the '02 Escalade is that it may be, er, "distinctive" in the same way the Pontiac Aztek - one of GM's most colossal missteps of the past 25 years - turned out to be.
Had GM put the Escalade's "stuff" - the 345-hp V-8, StabiliTrak and RSS, etc. - in the shell of the Denali, and called that the new Escalade, it would be a no-brainer.

Compared to the Escalade 7x10 series, the Escalade 7x50 series is about one thing and one thing only: improved RAID 5 performance.
