All of the crags within the New River Gorge proper are on national parklands, and drone use is prohibited here. There has been some discussion about places to launch drones that are not on park property, and then flying them over the gorge. This is super poor form; don't do it. Park regulations prohibit all drone use over the boundaries without a permit.
Description
Locate the twin cracks that are approximately 20' off the ground, they'll be easily spotted once you walk past (climbers right) the sport climb, Idols of the Tribe. The crack on the right is Aquarian Conspiracy. From here start at the left facing dihedral and climb it till you can make a move right around the arete and do a cool hand traverse on good holds to the base of the crack. Get a good stance at the base of the crack and climb it till its end. From here navigate mainly directly up on good holds and gear to a leftward rising flake. Climb the flake till its end and move up to get a stance on some very cool sculpted holds while fiddling in some good but less than perfect protection. From here punch it to the top following some more interesting holds to a tree you'll sling for the anchor.
