At this time of night I would just ruff the hearts lead, cash AK clubs and then the remaining cross-ruffs for down 1.
The morning may bring better ideas.

Well, if diamonds are 2-2 and clubs are 3-3 I have a chance... and I'm still not going down more than 1:

Ruff the spade. Cash the clubs, ending in dummy. Ruff another spade. Ruff a heart, ruff a spade, ruff a heart, ruff a spade. Exit a club.

If diamonds are 2-2 and clubs are 3-3, I can still ruff the return, draw trumps, and cash the 13th club.

You are right of course.
It's a 14% chance a priori, but we probably have nothing to lose.
