We give a Chabauty-like method for finding p-adic approximations to
integral points on hyperelliptic curves when the Mordell-Weil rank of
the Jacobian equals the genus. The method uses an interpretation of
the component at p of the p-adic height pairing in terms of iterated
Coleman integrals.  This is joint work with Amnon Besser and Steffen
Mueller.
