An escape time Sierpiński map is a rational map drawn from the Mc-Mullen family z → z n + λ/z n with escaping critical orbits and Julia set homeomorphic to the Sierpiński curve continuum. We address the problem of characterizing postcritically finite escape time Sierpiński maps in a combinatorial way. To accomplish this, we define a combinatorial model given by a planar tree whose vertices come with a pair of combinatorial data that encodes the dynamics of critical orbits. We show that each
