Strictly speaking, it’s 8a+ and not soft at the grade so might be a bit too hard if 8a is the the absolute max, but it is short, fierce and has a dyno crux…
I know it's only 7c+ but The Lockless Monster can be done with a dyno. You end up skipping the 3rd bolt if you do it this way which is quite exciting if you miss the dyno. It's still safe but you need your belayer to have their wits about them.
I did have it as a project once but my recollection isn’t great as it was about 15 years ago but not easy as I never got as far as the dyno finish on redpoint

It’s probably still a power endurancy 7c+/8a to the dyno. The dyno is a mental obstacle but not too bad once you commit. It is easy to fluff it between there and the chains though. An easier contender could be the angler, 7c at rubicon? Not a proper dyno but a huge dead point to a good edge if you don’t use the mono.
From memory, the final couple of redpoints before I did Rumble in the Jungle (8a+), I fell off the dyno, I would say it's the redpoint crux. The traverse (and clip at the end!) to get to the dyno are hard, so whilst the dyno is fairly simple in isolation, doing it Rumble in the Jungle (8a+)on the link is significantly harder. I never fell above the dyno on redpoint but I can see how you could.
