A lot happened on night three of the American Ninja Warrior Qualifiers. That’s pretty undeniable. But we’re going to take a moment to focus on one weird thing: The dang Lunatic Ledges.
The Lunatic Ledges obstacle was an unexpected Ninja killer. It was only the second obstacle on the course and it was a repeat, having made its debut in season 11 on the Seattle/Tacoma course. Somehow, it managed to stop 14 Ninjas it their tracks. Luckily, although Jessie Graff and David Campbell each gave us a scare on the Ledges, they managed to survive.
Read on to take a look at how the course broke down the competition.
