Pointer up high

VANE

Think of what often sits atop a barn or steeple, turning to show which way the breeze is blowing. It’s not a flag or a finial.

"Pointer up high" hints at something that points and is found in a high place, like on a roof. A "vane" is a weather vane, which sits atop buildings and points in the direction the wind is blowing. The word "pointer" directly refers to its function, while "up high" clues its typical location.
