Since I'm getting minimal/zero responses on VH and modest level puzzles, I'm going to post more difficult puzzles exclusively from now on.

Code:
 +-----------------------+
 | 3 . . | . . . | . 9 . |
 | . . . | . . . | 5 . . |
 | . . 7 | . 9 . | 6 4 . |
 |-------+-------+-------|
 | . . . | 3 . . | 4 . . |
 | . . 1 | . 5 7 | . . 2 |
 | . . . | . 4 1 | . 7 5 |
 |-------+-------+-------|
 | . 7 5 | 9 . . | . 2 . |
 | 4 . 9 | . . 5 | 8 . 6 |
 | . . . | . 6 4 | . 5 . |
 +-----------------------+

Skyscrapers make the path shorter than kites and ERs do.

It is still a 7 step puzzle for me. Very Happy

I had three steps as follows, assuming a pincer transport is not considered an additional step.
Quote:
Useless xy-wing<128> with pivot <28> at r4c5 and two pincer transports,
Kite on <1> in box <2>, and
xy-wing <126> with pivot <12> at r2c1 and psuedo-cell pincer <26> in box <4>
