How do you define the LHP?

I would as well. For me, the right hand path is the path of the community, and the left the path if the individual. Both are important, and both can lead to either balance or imbalance, "good," or "evil."

It doesn't have any virtues.

As I understand lhp is extreme individualism - "I" is put on a pedestal and worshiped. I-it relation to others (instead of I-Thou). Consistent following this path results in subjugating others to have power over them, to have/own others to serve you.
I think the balanced rhp is a community of individuals with equal worth and rights. IMO the organisation of society most compatible with lhp is slavery. The master is The Individual and slave is master's property.

Path.
This is where we differ. I believe you don't automatically become virtuous by walking a certain path. (Widespread sex scandals, as well as financial scandals amongst religious institutions come to mind.)
A given individual on a given path may or may not be virtuous.
I might even go so far to say that paths that call themselves virtuous may just be a handy place for unvirtuous individuals to hide out.
