I went right then up on CR, I remember thinking it was a bit confusing though. I think we did the 2nd or 3rd ascent at that time...that flake is hollow as, I'm suprised it's still there! I found the grades at both Teneriffe and Buffalo to be pretty much the same, with difference in rock type offering a different feel at each crag. Considering that one of the main 1st ascentionists at Teneriffe also consolidated the grades of many Buffalo testpieces, the similarity of grading between the 2 areas seems logical to me. Bear in mind that last time I climbed there, rock dust from the drilling was still making the routes slippery, so some routes have probably lost key foot/hand holds over that time which would certainly account for the disparity in grades.
