Just a clarification here:
WD1A is plenty strong until a behemoth tree falls on it and breaks
it. The splice then leads to a new failure point unless you can be
100% certain of keeping water out of the splice. The reason is the
steel strands that give it strength rust through very quickly if
water gets to it.
I do know how to keep water out of things, but when you're standing
on a steep ice-covered slope hoping not to end up wrapped around a
tree 100 feet down-slope or underneath ice in the river, the quality
of work is not always perfect. :) Preferably, work in such
locations is to be avoided altogether.
