Sub 30 second final tower climb is other worldly.... To have 3 seconds remaining on it is inhuman. If there is an ANW8, obviously they will buff up stage 1, 2 and 3. Stage 1 was basically a speed course, but had a 2 minute and 30 second time limit. That's unreal. If it was 1 minute and 45 seconds I doubt anyone would complain it being too strict. The race against time is what makes competitors fail, not the obstacles themselves. ANW, You have a winner, go back to it being the toughest course in the world. They probably will buff up the stages and by the way..... Anw has a really hard course but.....SASUKE remains the mother of obstacle courses....just saying..... Eh I beg to differ. Won't get into a 10 post argument with you, I'm just saying I disagree. |

I have full information on the course and results, and will post/answer questions with relevant info after I'm out of Vegas and have had a chance to catch up on sleep.

tbh I could see this causing NBC to rethink the "only the fastest" bulls**t because I'm 99.99% sure there's going to be a TON of backlash over it on social media |

Everyone I ask is being so secretive about it like I'm gonna call nbc and tell on them. {Spoiler}I really wanna know how some people did like the ones from Venice that I've competed with and others I trained/competed with at apex norcal: Nicholas Coolridge the only guy to finish Venice finals, my friends Alvaro Campos (JR) and Sam Goldstein, Kevin Bull, David Campbell, Jessie Graff (although I saw her two weeks ago and she was limping I think she had a hip injury so not sure if she competed), Flip Rodriguez, James mcgrath. |

It's a two-way street. The only reason I'm willing to be forthcoming with information here is because only two people actually know my identity. I've been an active member of the community for a while, so it's either you all know who I am and I can't say anything, or none of you know who I am and I can say stuff. Not THE spoiler: If Geoff was awarded anything, I didn't hear about it. Personally, I've always said that if I and others cleared Stage 3 in the same comp, I would ask if they wanted to split BEFORE we climbed if more than one of us cleared. I doubt that happened here, so I think there's a distinct chance Geoff is going to get boned. I really hope he doesn't, but I don't have good feelings about it, especially given how the post-climb interviews/events were handled. |

Do you know if they made him sound like a champion in the interview or a loser? |

Nick failed spider climb, David started looking at the final obstacle before finishing the floating disks and flipped the last one, Kevin had a really fast complete on stage 1, lost track of what happened to him stage 2. Jessie competed with a hip fracture and didn't have enough legs to get up the wall.
Jessie competed against megan for all stars they split points both falling same place stage 2 and 3. Megan faster to unstable bridge, Jessie faster to crazy cliff hanger.
Nick, Jessie and David will be doing skills challenges tonight. |

Kacy, Megan, and Michelle were among the wildcards, which were all women.
Geoff climbed first, so initially he was a winner in the interviews, but when Issac beat his time it quick became the wolfpack show. |
