I believe the root "ball" in highball came from the same origin as the "ball" in oddball.
Same orthography group.
Or maybe it is because of Buttermilks and the shape of the boulders there?

A highball cocktail glass is particularly tall? (Not as tall as a Collins glass - but calling dangerously high boulder problems "Colinses" doesn't work as well...)

I hear that when KD goes highball bouldering it sometimes has the same effect as a Colins cleanse.
