It seems to me that ladders along the 11-edge should work for Black, so I suggest this.

(It's how I play against whiteE8 connected to White's far edge when I have all ladders under E8.)]

Although Black probably can't quite connect Black's center group to the 1-edge, it looks like Black gets a good outcome here.

(White gets a height-4 ladder.)]
