Hey everyone, i am going to eldo tomorrow afternoon was hoping you all could give me a good route recommendation based on my criteria. Well be leaving boulder around 11, so well be approaching by 12 at the latest, so we need something probably 4 pitches or less, if we wish to avoid climbing in the dark. Looking for something G or PG, no pitches harder than an honest 10a. Obviously its not super warm yet, so something with decent winter sun.
Thanks.

Hey Andrew,
Maybe blind faith would be good after whatever else you do on the way out of the park. It's two pitches but you can do it as one, zero approach, super well protected, west facing for sun in the evening, easy walk off, and... it's rad!
Handcracker Direct doesn't really have too much snow on the descent- although it should be noted we descended east towards Redgarden to link this up with another route. I would not know the conditions of the standard descent (to the north towards Xanadu, White Lightning, etc.) so can't comment on that. Super safe 10a.
