This is not needed - Black escapes all ladders under f8 anyway - but should be forcing-enough.]

Black should get this - threatening k5 - to make sure the position doesn't become such that White would respond by threatening the K1 corner rather than defending this template.]))

I think Black should've pushed once first.

I mean, how is White going to defend?

(rhetorical question, not something I want you to try figuring out)]))
