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.
