Highball. See also The Gold Standard.
This is currently unclimbable. Typically this is because the climb existed in some state but then changed significantly (e.g. by losing holds) and is now considered a different climb.

The first incarnation of The Gold Standard that was climbed from a high start by standing on a friend's shoulders. Now superseded by the ground start.

Other than the shoulder-stand start this is an amazing problem. Sonnie's vision.
