Anyone have recommendations of some decent Eldo routes up to 5.7 or so that won't have crowds on the weekends? Not looking for classics here just non-chosspiles...
there are crowds! and drones! and babies and dogs!

West Chimney to Icarus or Daedalus are both fun and rarely crowded. You do have the option to finish on the exciting finish of the yellow spur, but then you get crowds. Swanson Arete is also a fun outing but sees a little more traffic in my experience.
West Side aka West Chimney on the Bastille is fun but shares a start with Blind Faith. Also the first pitch might be a bit spicey if 5.7 is close to your limit.
West overhang on the Wind Tower is great and doesn't seem to get as much traffic as it's neighbors.
The secret to Eldo on the weekend is an alpine start. You'll have the place to yourself.
Fun. Shares a starting pitch with other routes, but once up on the Red Ledge it never seemed to get much traffic...although I'm basing that on 10+ years ago....
