Pulling up some off-grid anarchist - it's a low point (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

nadir

'a low point' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'pulling up some off-grid anarchist' is the wordplay.
'pulling up' says the letters should be written backwards.
'some' says the answer is hidden in the clue (some parts of the word are used).
'ridan' is hidden within 'off grid anarchist'.
'ridan' backwards is 'NADIR'.

'it's' is the link.

(Other definitions for nadir that I've seen before include "Drain (anag)" , "Dinar (anag.)" , "Floor of drain in need of repair" , "Point of greatest despair" , "worst-case scenario?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
