BTW I just want people to know when you hear the Spider Drop is there, it's NOT the same as the Sasuke obstacle known as the Spider Drop. there is spider walking involved but it's not THAT Spider Drop

Also, looks like the circular rumbling dice thing locks into the track. Or that's how I'm seeing it.
Still no idea what obstacles 4 or 5 are.

Don't quote me on this, but obstacle 4 could possibly be the paddle boards. Also obstacle five looks brutal. It's a bar slider, but the bar only has one rail, so you have to hop the bar up on this crazy shaped slope, and then Lache to another one. Looks pretty absurd.

I think the bar kind of has two downward sloped parts at the end so you aren't hitting your head on the rail. It was from far away, but does the bar have a little bump in the middle so it rests more easily on the rail? Because a flat bar would be almost too ridiculous. Anyway, the lache is absolutely deadly. I can't see more than 10 clears on the first night. This, the Spider Drop, and the Wedge. They are really throwing the kitchen sink at the rock climbers.

I think those with decent grip strength shouldn't have too much difficulty on the bar obstacle. Really the only point you'll fail with energy in the tank is the lache, and if you can get a big enough swing, it shouldn't be too much of a problem. This is also helped by minimal grip strength taxed previously in the course. I can see about 20 finishers. I believe I also saw the "Spider Drop" with a third pillar behind the first two.

Anyone know results? I've heard the course was brutal and the 5th obstacle was the toughest qualifier obstacle ever.

Couldn't explain the Lightning Hopper so I made it in Paint: (there are two of these) Also, I can confirm what ekkerb11 said. Basically a copy-paste of results from last year's LA but with different people.

I heard Ian Dory was the only finisher. Wedge was a killer on night 2, and apparently only two people even got to the Ninjago Roll (apparently this is a sponsored obstacle by the Lego movie). Brian made it to Vegas but another auxiliary member of the Wolfpack possibly didn't make it to Vegas.

Most people failed the lache to the second bar, or as they were going up the hill the bar twisted on them.

Also I can double confirm what you heard about finishers/Wedge clears, didn't hear anything else this time around sadly.

- Have a sponsored obstacle - Make it so that almost no one gets to it, defeating the purpose of being able to hawk the sponsor
Smooth, ANW. Smooth.
