Hi all,
I'm planning a solo backpacking trip for montana around Glacier NP or Beartooth. I'll be there for a week and I'd really like to plan 1-2 peak bagging days, possibly up some 12kers. Granite peak looks really convenient and beautiful since i might be backpacking near it anyways, but summit post references some "high exposure" that they don't have pictures of. Sine I'm solo, I think it might be more relaxing to do class 2 rather than 3.
This picture is from summitpost Southwest Coulier route on Granite peak. It seems like exactly what I wanna climb, but i'm concerned about whats not shown. I know people rarely take pictures at the crux due to their hands/brains being occupied.

Are there any alternatives that are more in line for class 2. I can't stress enough that I'd really like to prioritize beautiful montana views from the mountain I'm climbing. I've seen some google images of glaciers running into alpine lakes.
Secondary priorities- proximity to some of the backpacking routes I'm looking at (cdt, great northern pass, the beaten path). I'd also like some fun scrambling rather than just a class 1 hike.
