Negotiate a rise for a second time and end cares, maybe (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reascend

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'negotiate a rise for a second time' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'end cares maybe' is the wordplay.
'maybe' is an anagram indicator.
'end'+'cares'='endcares'
'endcares' with letters rearranged gives 'REASCEND'.

'and' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

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

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
