Altitude
High-level
noun, な adjective, の adjective
Something that is tall in degrees can either refer to its altitude, or to the fact that it's quite high-level.
Note that this can refer to any altitude, even lower ones. But when used to refer to, for example, skills or a technique, it always talks about a high level or degree.
This is a jukugo word that uses the on'yomi readings of the kanji. You should be able to read this on your own.
