A Sheet Bend is the preferred knot for joining two ropes together because the Sheet Bend doesn’t slip under load yet comes apart easily even when wet. The Double variation of the Sheet Bend adds an additional level of security.

Safety:
Ropes and the knots associated with rope, can be dangerous. If improperly handled, or tied, ropes can kill and you could be the victim! Always use rope with care and inspect and test any knots you tie. Respect ropes subject to a heavy load, especially your own climbing rope. The danger associated with ropes under load is often learned by painful experience.
