Route suggestions for a 5'3" crack novice with small hands?

If you're not going to the top, first two pitches of patent pending.

That's a good one.

Walt Bailey is one sweet long pitch and then 3rd class to the summit. https://www.mountainproject.com/route/105715550/walt-bailey-memorial

Anything 5.9 and up will be thin fingers smaller hand size, all of the easier stuff tends to be wide and less appealing.

Definitely trying to summit, but still adding the route to the list.

Soler and Assembly line benefit those with smaller hands. Disagree with above regarding patent pending’s first two pitches. While easy and not crack dependent, the crack is 2’s-4’s. Though you could use those two pitches to get up to assembly line.
