Response to How much can you push pull HP5+?

I would also consider flashing the film (gray card, out of focus, etc etc) which is supposed to boost your shadow detail in such difficult situations (Adams proposed that solution also). A two bath extreme compensating developer could also help... You could also try helping your high contrast negatives (if they end up like that) by masking them (unsharp, for better results) when printing.
