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 judge whether this defines the answer.

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

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