The path along the ridge is clearly defined in this photo, taken at the summit of West Kip. There's a steep descent before climbing East Kip then down again to the base of Scald Law where the path forks. Carnethy Hill is visible further away. January 2000.

There's a crowd of people on top of West Kip and there's more on the path at the bottom. This shot from Cap Law gives a good view of the well-worn and rather steep route to the summit.

On the path to Lover's Loup, near the bottom of East Kip is this wide angle view. The flat area to the right is Kitchen Moss, the source of the Logan Burn. A solitary individual on the horizon is visible as little more than a pixel.
