coloring on 1 takes out the 1 in r6c7 and r4c6, that did it for me. |

That same thing is accomplished by the Skyscraper in c48.
There is an nice XY Loop present in b8-r9-c8-r1-c5. The sequence is {13} {31} {13} {36} {61}. It removes <1>s from r3456c5. That alone doesn't appear to solve it, but it's interesting. |

I used remote pairs, an XY-Wing and an M-Wing, both of which required pincer coloring.
(I really appreciate it when other people do the tedious job of selecting puzzles for me to play).  |
