Aerial Silks vs Climbing rope

I can climb my polyplus rope for five sets of 15ft for the last 3 months so my tendons should have adapted.

 

How does rope climbing compare to climbing silks?

 

The polyplus rope is very slick, how does aerial silk compare?

 

Has anyone seen aerial silks that could be left hanging outside?

Aerial silks is much more demanding on the grip. 

I wouldn't leave them outside to hang. They are not like hardy like ropes.  When you get a hole in the fabric,

immediately consider throwing it out and getting a new one.  Safety first (always).
