Hubo de vérselas con la dificultad

Quote:
Se propuso entonces subir aquel mismo día como fuese, y bien provisto de su palo largo, acechó la ocasión de poder subir con las manos llenas [de comida] en lugar de vacías. Fray Papilla no se separaba ni un minuto de su cocina y Marcelino hubo de vérselas con la dificultad, una vez más, hasta que en un descuido del buen fraile sepultó en su bolsillo un gran trozo de carne asada y, poco después, otro buen tarugo de pan, de aquel duro que los frailes comían cuando lo podían tener. -Marcelino ch.4
I was hoping you could explain the expression hubo de vérselas, and especially what -las would refer to?
