gouter route is easy depending on the weather. There is one place were there is some rockfall but it is only about 30m long. Just get up there early. The ridge to the summit is pretty exposed to wind. The hut is usually full (booked up by guides and clients) but there is space for tents.

The route itself is basically a walk, The scrambling is maximum a mod/diff (on the way to the hut).

As for soloing, seen plenty of people do it. To be honest it sounds like you are a decent climber i would suggest going to the campsites in chamonix and hooking up with people there to do more interesting routes as part of a group (point isabelle?)
