A skyscraper (9) in Cols 14 => r7c5<>9 does it. |

				| An xy-wing 249 forces r8c2=9 which solves it. |

				I'm obviously being fffick, because I don't see that XY wing at all (where is the pivot?)
 
 
I used an xy wing 129, using the chain of 29s to extend the pincers, making r5c4<>2 |

				| I've caught up now - I was trying to see how that XY wing was forcing R8C2<>2, rather than seeing that the wing made R8C9<>9. Apologies for my fffickness. |
