Description 

Weeping Jesus is an absolutely classic 5.13a on the upper right side of the Mileski Wall. It tackles the overhanging seam & orange streak via technical climbing, liebacks, stems, and tricky footwork.

Begin by following a line of sportily placed coldshuts which is the juggy first pitch of Rain Of Gold (11a). At the anchor, rest up, then move out left over a cruxy bulge to a good stance. From here, continue up the seam to a climactic flake-slapping crux sequence at the last bolt. Jessery affords an unlikely no-hands rest here, otherwise, you'd better be really strong.

Protection 

15 draws + the anchor. 70m rope or you'll have to lower twice.
