For the submission, see La Escalera.

The term Escalera (which translates to "ladder") is sometimes used to describe the sequence wherein a wrestler applies an arm wrench/wristlock to their opponent, runs to the corner, and quickly climbs the turnbuckles whilst maintaining the hold. Transitioning thereafter into any number of high-flying moves to cap off the splendour of the offense.

A slower version for heavyweight wrestlers wishing to show off their agility anyway is also possible. As is the case for Jinsei Shinzaki's Ogami Watari / The Undertaker's Old School chop.
