βeta: Removed tat from ab due to core showing and replaced with 6mm cord as it was all I had on me. Currently there is the black static dating back to 2015 (as seen in the logbooks) with the crab plus my 6mm stuff. If you want to do this route and ab off please bring some replacement tat and mallion with you (the piece I cut out was approx 4m long)
