It's difficult to say. Any obstacle on the course can be failed by almost anyone if they aren't focused or they have a bit of bad luck. I train daily, am in good shape, and I think I could clear the first stage if I stayed focused, didn't rush things, and didn't catch any bad breaks. Obviously, the jumping spider and soritatsu kabe concern me the most.
Hopefully, I'll get the chance to find out for sure at the 28th Sasuke.

Yeah, even if all the stars aligned there's no way I could pass the cliff-hanger. Don't get me wrong, the cliff-hanger is what I train for more than anything else, but it's just too much.
During competitions I always get the added boost of adrenaline which really helps. Like when I was recording my Sasuke 24 entry video I could BARELY do my 5-17 version of the cliff-hanger. However as soon as I had to do it in-front of the camera and with people watching, I completed it with a 20lb weighted vest on, and was able to do it back-wards without stopping.
So I'm sure that would help me get pretty far on the UCH if I got there, but it's still too much. There's no way I could make that jump to the 6th ledge (granted I got that far).

As sad as it seems, 50% of fail the first obstacle, if i passed it, 85% chance fail on RE, if i pass that 100% chance of failing on either JS or HPA
My vote, RE

Not to toot my own horn, but I have a lot of talent for a 15-year-old. I'd probably fail the transition to the 5th ledge of the UCH. How I'd do on each of the obstacles (in spoiler tags so it won't be a huge post) Stage 1: 1- Step Slider: Easy unless as Badalight said, if I pulled a Li. 2- Rolling Escargot: Hang on for dear life and get a good foothold. 3- Giant Swing: You don't even need the springboard for this as Nagano demonstrated. 4- Jumping Spider: I'd probably go slow, but I'd make it. 5- Halfpipe Attack: I'd most likely have to go around for a 2nd time, and land on the log. 6- Warped Wall: It is all technique. Being 5'9", I'd make it up in one or two attempts. 7- Spin Bridge: Get a TON of speed. 8- Rope Ladder: There's not much technique to it. Most likely CLEAR with about 7 seconds left.
Stage 2: 1- Slider Drop: Just keep the bar balanced. 2- DSL: Takes a ton of endurance. I can easily do 36-inch apart rungs. 3- UB: I train for this a lot. Nothing can throw me off it. 4- Balance Tank: Just balance on it. Nuff said. 5- Metal Spin: Out of all the obstacles in stage 2, I am most worried about this one. Just hang on for dear life. 6- Wall Lift: Use the Shingo technique. CLEAR with about 2 seconds left.
Stage 3: Arm Bike: Why is this even here? Flying Bar: Takes a lot out of you I'm guessing, but I'd clear. UCH: After taking a lot of time on the FB, I'd lose stamina and fail like how James did.

Yeah, people who think they can get to the UCH are high on something that's for sure. It's a lot harder than it looks.
I thought I could beat the cliff-hanger with ease, until I built my own. I ate my own words.

I am so uncoordinated that I will fail really quickly. I would have picked something prior to the first obstacle if there was that option in the poll.

I put Rolling Escargot simply because it looks really hard. If I beat that, which I would give myself a 20-30% chance of beating, the water below the Jumping Spider has my name on it...

I put RE, because I lack practice on it. However, on the off chance I managed to beat it, I'd fail the Giant Swing. Mostly because I have a bad knee, which would badly impact my chances of getting up on the swing, and getting out of the dismount uninjured.

I think I'd stumble past the step slider and then pelt it to the rolling escargot. I'D do a wall run across the escargot. And the fly the last few metres. Then I'd get disqualified. Lol.
