LostWinds stuck in Chilling Caves

Playing the iphone version of LW2, I seem to be stuck at the point where you are supposed to stream some fire from below up to an ice wall above on the far right of the screen. I've watched this on some Wii walkthrough videos and the flame seems to be just barely visible but on my iphone it's totally off-screen and inaccessible.
Thanks for any help here.

Here's the guide for that part of the game:

CHILLING CAVE
Zigzag over Toku to make an easy landing. At the bottom of the cliff is a Melodia Idol. Light to torch to the left with the one to the right. Watch out for the Scorpio here. You can burn it up with fire. Light the next torch and use the flames to take out the Water Glorbs.
Once you have done this, use a Slipstream to hit the wooden gate with flames. Now that this is gone, move past it. Up here, go to the left. Stand on the switch and a Rock will drop from above. Take the Rock over to the right hand side of the screen, over the platforms.
You will come to a switch with an ice barrier next to it. Break the barrier with the Rock, then head through. Use the mushroom to reach the raised ledge. Here you will see another Rock behind a shut door. Use Gust to move the Rock over the top of the tall platform here.
Now that you have the Rock, place it on the switch below. This is will open the nearby door. Go through the door and use the mushroom to gain height. To the right you will see a Beacon. Fire it up then light the torch to the left. As soon as you are finished, your work in this section is done.
Go back down to the ground and taking the Rock with you, head over to the left. Place the Rock on the switch here and use the mushroom to move upwards. Deal with the Water Glorbs and continue to the right.
You will come to an unlit torch and the camera will pan out. You should be able to see the torch that you lit on the other side. Use a Slipstream to move fire through the narrow gap in the wall. You will now have a torch lit on this side of the wall.
Light the next torch and from here destroy the wooden barrier. Use the mushroom to get up to the next level. Here you will find a Journal Page. Proceed to the left and just as you come to the bridge, a Garb will appear. The Garb is a lot of Glorbs merged together into a Super-Glorb. Create a snowball and throw it at the Garb. Repeat this until it explodes. Hitting it on the head or from behind seems to work best.
Once the Garb (and Glorbs) are gone, head over the bridges and leave the screen to the right.

Breaking the ice barrier with the rock still doesn't work!

Michael, I have tried endlessly myself to break the ice barrier with the rock but nothing seems to happen. Slipstreaming the fire is completely impossible as the torch is too far away from the barrier and there is no zoom out function. Please help. I don't feel like giving up on the game since I've spent 2 days on it and getting that far. All this on the iPhone version.

Hi having exactly the same problem, have you managed to do it yet?

Ah, I've managed to resolve the problem. Yeah the method suggested by Michael worked. You do have to take the rock but you need to use a 'vortex' (gust the rock in midair and pinch the rock to create a vortex) then swipe right at the ice barrier.
Hope that helps.

This hasn't helped me!

hi there, I tried what redranch suggested and succeeded in smashing my ball… now I can't open the door above. I can't light the torches right at the top because there is no fire to do so. So neither of these ideas have worked. Any more ideas? If I work it out somehow I'll post back…!
