A skyscraper (of the past year numerically) is a single-step solution.

PS The skyscraper (8) in C69 eliminates the 8 in R6C4.

| I couldn't find the single step solution. I couldn't even find the w-wings. Had to use an x-wing on <8> then a <138> xy-wing then colouring on <8>. Good one though! |

I'm not following the above posts I don't see how the <138> xy-wing appears before the x-wing on <8> is made (or the skyscraper). And I don't see how the skyscraper can be used as a single step. Maybe I missed a basic move - can't see it though.
These are my remaining 8's.

The pincers @ of the <128> XY-wing make two eliminations, solving the puzzle.
