to tie a

Carrick Bend

When joining two ropes I find the Carrick Bend is easy to both tie and undo. Besides that it's a pretty knot (at least until it's under a load!).

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.
