The basic meaning of highball as a noun refers to a “spirit drink mixed with soda and served in a tall glass”.
However, the slang sense of the word is most important for us.
General slang:
Verb – “to move at full speed”
Noun – “object moving at full speed”
Climbers' slang:
Highball (n.) A term for a boulder that is so high, falling when close to the top could cause serious injury. Some highballs have anchor bolts at the top to allow for protected top-rope climbing.
