After bad scare finish climb again (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reascend

'after bad scare finish climb again' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'after bad scare finish' is the wordplay.
'after' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'bad' is an anagram indicator.
'finish' becomes 'end' (synonyms).
'scare' with letters rearranged gives 'reasc'.
'reasc' put next to 'end' is 'REASCEND'.

(Another definition for reascend that I've seen is " Again climb".)
