A "reverse monkey jump" should work...

B1 sets up a snapback with BS and a monkey jump from BC.

Now b and e are miai, and c and f are miai. W2 at a will be answered by B3 at e or f.

However, a reverse monkey jump from the other direction does NOT work:

Monkey jump from the wrong side

If black plays like this, white can cut by playing at b:

Now black cannot play at a to connect due to shortage of liberties.
