I think Carthew Alderson and Akamina Ridge are nicer than Crypt. Crypt lake is fantastic but if it's nice and a weekend the boat times cause people to clump up and back up on the ladder/tunnel/chains section and then the lake is crowded when you get there.
Carthew Alderson has 9k of above treeline hiking through varied terrain from lush meadow to moon scape and is a one way trip. Akamina ridge via the scramble loop is better as well, through the hiking out and back I would rank a little lower.
You can't really go wrong with any of the three, if you hate hiking in a crowd do something other than crypt.
