Access Issue: RAIN AND WET ROCK: The sandstone in Red Rocks is fragile and is very easily damaged when it is wet.
Details
Holds rip off and climbs have been and will continue to be permanently damaged due to climbers not respecting this phenomenon. After a heavy storm the rock will remain wet, sometimes for several days. PLEASE DO NOT CLIMB IN RED ROCKS during or after rain. A good rule of thumb is that if the ground near your climb is at all damp (and not powdery dry sand), then do not climb. There are many alternatives (limestone, granite, basalt, and plastic) nearby.
HUMAN WASTE Human waste is one of the major issues plaguing Red Rocks. The Las Vegas Climbers Liaison Council and the AAC provides free "wag bags" in several locations (Black Velvet, First Pullout, Kraft Mtn/Bouldering, The Gallery, and The Black Corridor). These bags are designed so that you can pack your waste out - consider bringing one to be part of your kit (just like your rope and shoes and lunch) no matter where you go. Once used, please dispose of them properly (do not throw them in the toilets at the parking area).

Description
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.
Location
This is the right-most route on the Hamlet. Access is the same as Rosencrantz - walk past all the TR anchors to several exposed 3rd class moves to the Rosencrantz belay anchors and continue to the right to another set of brown painted bolts on the prow. Belay here. The route steps right off the belay and follows tan painted bolts up the arete to an anchor just below the top of the crag. With a little exposed down-scrambling, it would be feasible to set a TR from these anchors, if one was so inclined.

Otherwise an enjoyable route with great position...a nice intro to multipitch technique as well, given the exposed scramble to the base. Dec 30, 2011

We were able to diagonal rap off the top belay anchor back to the initial ledges left of Rosencranz with plenty of rope using a 70m. Rope pulled with no problems. Feb 23, 2013
We rapped back to the belay anchors, where I put in a new pair of quick links (Camp oval, zinc 10mm, 55kN) and rap rings (GM blue 25kN) so the route is now feasible to get to the ground in 2 single rope raps with a 60m. We did not have a 17mm wrench with us to tighten the links so they are just hand tightened, if someone wants to go up and wrench on them go for it but they should be mighty fine.
All in all a beautiful route and stellar sunset views at the top. Apr 1, 2018
