As mentioned in the description section, ANW4's second stage was horribly designed leading to either 1 barely clear or 0 clears depending if Brent timed out. How would the second stage competitor pool from ANW 11 fare on the stage?

They would probably destroy it. Other than a few fails owing to the wonky construction that year, nothing on ANW 4's Stage 2 comes close to obstacles like Deja Vu, Wingnut Alley, Double Wedge, Water Walls etc. You would probably have nearly as many clears as in ANW 11.

The one difficult part with that assumption is that in recent seasons, time barely seems to matter. Once they started with the Double Wedge, it became less of a sprint that stage 2 was known for. I'm sure there would be more finishers than ANW 4 but I don't feel confident saying nearly as many as ANW 11 |

Slider Drop is now a joke with the number of free-bar obstacles in the modern era of ANW, but I reckon the material makes it a li'l sketch.
Double Salmon Ladder is actually not as easy as the rungs are kinda weirdly spaced with the last one being a reach. However, the ladder sides are closer together so it's easier to maintain bar control. Don't expect it to take out more than 2-3 people like in ANW 11.
Unstable Bridge... easy. The first half is honestly in comparison quite easy.
Balance Tank is still a little kinda nasty but I think modern competitors are much more well-prepared for it; hard compared to the Swing Surfer, though.
Oh, man... I'd say the Metal Spin is still hard. Just cos it's more technical. In fact, although strength wise this is an easier course and the time limit for modern ninjas is much more forgiving (I don't expect anyone to struggle with the Wall Lift after the Wall Flip and Water Walls)... This course is slightly more technically difficult than ANW 11. Snap Back and Walk the Plank vs Slider Drop, Balance Tank and Metal Spin... Plus, Idk whether most ninjas have that same 1-and-go type commitment and skill after Roulette Row got removed in 2016
