Just guessing, but it isn't a great stretch of the imagination from "climber" to something like a ladder you can climb up on an oil rig....

Then again, it could be some other sort of climbing apparatus, like those in Google images for "escalador"...

: Interesting. The "Skate and Block" they describe would be what I'd call a "hoist"... something like that might be called "escalador" in Spanish. Need to ask my climber pal when he gets back from the Pyrenees...
