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 ofthe 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.
