 A head chain and CE in col 3 eliminates one of the two options for 1 in /-diagonal. The rest is surprisingly easy.

 I couldn't see a path, so made a lucky 50/50 guess on F6

 Very nice, thanks! My key: Small chains and x power especially regarding F4&G3.

 Slightly different path: No matter what the choice in C3 is, two digits can be removed from a cell. This solves one cell and decides high/low in column 8. Now the wrong choice in F4 results in an obvious contradiction. The resulting elimination solves the puzzle.

First you can show, that G3 could't be 1 (C3 and F6 both = 4), than that F8 could't be 5 (F6 and H8 both = 4). That solves.

You don't need the x-wing on 5, the x-wing on 8 is sufficient.
