American Ninja Warrior 9's Peg Cloud in Stage Three
The Peg Cloud is an obstacle, firstly appeared on American Ninja Warrior 9 as the sixth obstacle of Stage Three, replacing the Hang Climb from the past five American Ninja Warrior seasons.
It consists of series of eight boxes, which contain footholds and peg holes arranged downwards and two pegs. After completing the Curved Body Prop, competitors have to hold on to the two pegs and must traverse downward to the poles using the footholds and the peg holes. After that, they must transfer to the next obstacle, the Time Bomb.
Only Joe Moravsky attempted and completed the obstacle, as he had the opportunity to rest upside down by hanging his legs on the pegs.

American Ninja Warrior 10[]
On American Ninja Warrior 10, the Peg Cloud returned once again as the sixth obstacle in Stage Three. However, due to Sean Bryan and Drew Drechsel being the only two competitors to attempt Stage Three, with both of them failing on the Ultimate Cliffhanger, no one attempted the obstacle.
However, during USA vs. The World 5, the obstacle was attempted by Drew Drechsel from Team USA, and he could complete it.
It was removed in American Ninja Warrior 11 in favor of the Pipe Dream.

It was removed after the Total Victories of Moritz Hans and René Casselly in Ninja Warrior Germany 7 in favor of the Stalactites, but it returned in Ninja Warrior Germany 8 with eight peg slots, taking back the fourth obstacle spot.
During Ninja Warrior Germany 9, the obstacle returned and it was followed by Stalactites where it was unexpectedly brutal as out of eight attempts, three ninjas failed the obstacle: Max Görner (who got disqualified for going back to the starting platform after he lost a peg at the fourth box and didn't go for the long late to Stalactites), Philipp Göthert (who also lost a peg at the fifth peg box which he went for the long lache to Stalactites but couldn't hold onto the holds of Stalactites), and Julian Rieger (who also lost a peg at the fourth peg box which he went for the long lache to Stalactites but came up short of the holds of Stalactites).
Ninja Israel[]
Ninja Israel 5's Peg Cloud to Time Bomb
On Ninja Warrior Israel 5, the Peg Cloud, literally translated ענן היתדות was combined with the Time Bomb (פצצות הזמן) as the fifth obstacle in the Stage One, with a rope and a laché placed before as the medium to reach the pegs. Unlike American Ninja Warrior 9, the number of boxes were reduced to 6, and after reach the final box, they must grab another laché as a medium to reach the Time Bomb. The obstacle was very easy, as no competitor failed on it.
