‘American Ninja Warrior’ concluded Monday night with two contestants ascending to heights never before achieved in the show’s seven-year history. Both Geoff Britten and Isaac Caldiero made it to the top of Mt. Midoriyama in Las Vegas.

Shortly after rock climber Caldiero became the first ever American ninja to complete Stage 3 of the Finals course, Geoff Britten did likewise with a thrilling run that was completed by the tip of his toe.

After having his Popeye-esque forearms thoroughly pumped out on Stage 3, Britten shook them out before becoming the first competitor to attempt Stage 4. Incredibly, he completed the 75-foot rope climb with just .35 seconds remaining on the 30-second timer.

Caldiero got to take on Stage 4 after Britten, by virtue of having posted the faster time on Stage 3. The part-time busboy at The Kitchen in Boulder, Colorado, flew up the rope to Mt. Midoriyama’s summit in just over 26 seconds with girlfriend and fellow rock-climber/ninja Laura Kisana breathlessly looking on.
Owing to his faster time on Stage 4, Caldiero — one of the least materialistic athletes in any sport — claimed the $1 million dollar prize and a permanent spot in the sport’s history books.
