I'm headed to Tuolumne Meadows and Yosemite in a few days and I was wondering what routes you-all would recommend. Whats good? Whats going to be crowded? etc.

Even when "crowded" I don't think you'll be lining up for many routes save the most popular. If you're climbing on a weekday, all the better.
That said: Lucky Streaks, Inverted Staircase, Eichorn Pinnacle (the .9+/.10a variation), On The Lamb, OZ, the list might go on for a fair bit, as the granite is excellent.
Have fun!

ditto
Even with the long approach, Cathedral Peak (Eichorn Pinnacle) is a must. Great White Book is a good easy route as well with not much traffic on a weekday.
Don't forget the wilderness permit office closes at 5pm (where do the rangers expect me to sleep when the office closes way before dusk? :roll: ). Have a great time.

Super good single pitch climb: ARMS RACE 5.10
I can't remember the name of the formation it's on, but it is in the book. It really is one of the best 5.10's I've ever done, even tho it was years ago, I still remember it as ultra classic. Half hour or so approach thru the forest on a good trail, not hard to find.

Posting your experience and how hard you climb will always get you more accurate route recommendations.
Crowds are only on routes below 5.10 which have good pro. A few exceptions exist.
