A heavy section of trimmed tree trunk thrown in competition at Highland games (5)

I believe the answer is:

(Other definitions for caber that I've seen before include "Trunk sent up" , "Tree trunk tossed in sport" , "Scottish projectile" , "Pole thrown" , "Heavy pole" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
