This route starts under a small roof on the upper Hamlet. It is the pull of this roof , the routes crux , that garners the majority of the 5.9+ grade (estimated a 5.9+/10a move by the FA), the climbing that follows is solid 5.7 on terrain similar to its neighbors to the right. A longer draw is recommended for the first bolt.

Pay attention for falling rock and wear a helmet.

Crux is in the lower section of the route, with easier climbing and spaced out bolts higher up.

Guildenstern climbs the slabby arete on the right edge of the Hamlet.  The position is quite good for a route with such a modest grade.

TR Only -- Second route on the lower tier.  

Gildenstern was turned into a multipitch route by adding the first pitch to the lower tier of The Hamlet, far right side. One belay bolt can be found below the line. Rap rings were installed at the base of the second pitch. First move getting started might be 5.9-ish. Fun mantle to reach P1 anchors.

Pay attention for falling rock and wear a helmet. 2 belay bolts are at the base of the route.

Crux starts out pulling the roof through the third bolt, then sustained face climbing until the last bolt where it mellows out on a slab to the finish on the ledge.

Found to the right of Sweets to the Sweet. Climb through a pumpy roof to easier terrain above. Originally rated 10a ...you decide.

TR Only -- Fourth Route on the lower tier.  

Pay attention for falling rock and wear a helmet. There are 2 belay bolts at the base of the route.

TR Only -- First route on the left side of the lower tier.  

Coolest route on the upper tier. Start in the chimney and climb through a crimpy bulge to easier climbing above. At the crux, clip the bottom link of the chain to protect from a ledge fall.   

  Belayer may want a helmet, as small pebbles and sand tend to get kicked off by the climber.

This is a fun route, similar in style to the other sport routes at the Hamlet.  Similarly, it is bolted for someone leading the grade.  It's pretty juggy through the steeper part, to a slabby topout.

Route starts with some moves around the bottom corner of an overhang and works onto a slab face with huge rests, crux involves moving off a large rest ledge and past a smooth featureless face.  Finishes by moving onto a crumbly hold-less slab at the top.

Fun route with the crux in the first half of the route.

Crux is at the start, over the initial overhang.

William Shakespeare wrote a play filled with some of the best potential route names of perhaps any work written in the English language. One of the crags in Red Rock Canyon has taken advantage of this literary gift, The Hamlet.The Hamlet is a great wall with a variety of moderate routes that range from 5.5 to 5.10 and has become a First Pullout staple. The wall is comprised of two tiers. The upper tier is where you will find the sport climbing. Three of these routes start in a shaded slot canyon that is usually cool year round. The majority of the toprope lines are on the lower tier and are serviced by three sets of glue-in anchors. The rock is fairly well traveled and has shed most of its loose and questionable holds over the years. A great spot for new climbers and intermediate leaders.The Hamlet and The J Wall :The The J Wall is a collection of three sport routes directly to the left of the Hamlet top rope area. Confusion by visiting climbers has led to these routes sometimes being mistaken for the sport routes on the upper section of the Hamlet. Which is an unfortunate happenstance as the grades on the J Wall are significantly higher than those of the Hamlet. For additional information on their exact location and grades you can reference the Hamlets topo or the J Wall page here on MP.
