***Spoiler-free description***

In the eleventh episode of season 13 of American Ninja Warrior, the top competitors from the qualifying round return to tackle the final stages of the National Finals. In National Finals 2, the obstacles become even more challenging as the contestants face the ultimate test of strength, agility, and endurance.

The episode kicks off with the last of the remaining competitors breezing through the challenging qualifying round, all hoping to make it to the next stage. The top 15 men and women will move on to the National Finals, which is the final stage of the competition.

After qualifying, the competitors are introduced to the first stage of the National Finals, which will feature six challenging obstacles. The first obstacle is the Shrinking Steps, followed by the Double Twister, which is a spinning bar with two arms that the competitors must navigate. The next obstacle is the Jumping Spider, where the competitors must jump off a trampoline and grab onto a vertical wall with their hands and feet. Then, there is the Tire Run, where the contestants must cross a series of gigantic rolling tires. The fifth obstacle is the Warped Wall, which requires the competitors to scale a 14.5-foot tall wall to move on to the next stage. Finally, the contestants must tackle the Salmon Ladder, a series of ascending rungs that they must navigate while holding onto a long bar.

Those who successfully complete the first stage of the National Finals will move on to the second stage, which is even more challenging. It features a series of eight obstacles that are designed to test the contestants' strength, speed, and endurance. The course begins with the Double Dipper, a pair of bars that the contestants must glide down before launching themselves to the next obstacle.

Next, the contestants will move on to the Balance Tank, which requires them to balance on a set of floating tanks while navigating a rope. The Devil Steps come next, where the competitors must leap across a series of steps arranged at different angles and heights, moving progressively higher.

The Sonic Curve then awaits the contestants, with competitors needing excellent speed and agility to win. After this, contestants will face the new obstacle, Sideways, which features balls that spin, testing coordination and balance.

The next obstacle is the Down Up Salmon Ladder, where the contestants must navigate yet another Salmon Ladder that moves side-to-side and up and down, putting even more strain on their limbs to progress.

The final two obstacles are the Body Prop, which requires the contestants to hold themselves up by their hands and move across a set of bars, before tackling the Spider Trap, where competitors must swing across to a rope, and then onto a pole.

As always, the road to becoming the ultimate American Ninja Warrior is difficult, but the participants have trained a lifetime for this moment. With $1 million on the line and a chance to become the next American Ninja Warrior, contestants will leave nothing to chance, giving their all and pushing themselves to the limit.

In National Finals 2, the obstacles will become even more challenging, and the stakes will be higher. With each obstacle presenting new challenges and hurdles to overcome, only the strongest, most agile, and well-prepared competitors will make it to the end. In American Ninja Warrior season 13 episode 11, the ultimate test of strength, agility, and endurance will begin.
