Not smart, but at least you are recovering..

80s legend Craig Smith banged himself up on mtb a couple of months ago - dangerous stuff.

I did a 7A! Le Quark / Elecubration at Sabots. At least 15 years since the last one, which I can barely remember anyway. Thought I was going to get Graviton too, but the (very hot) sun was on the top holds and felt quite trashed by that point. One full day to go, so we’re going to try for some more there tomorrow. Yay!

Yes mate! Good work

Nice one Yossarian.

Looking good for Azazel in the Autumn . . .

Yess Yoss!

Nice Yoss

Yossarian · August 26, 2019, 09:01:05 pm

I was taking about you today Nik
- both to Czech guy and my daughter - lamenting how precisely none of your skill rubbed off on me at all...

Not really a YYFY yet, but I'm so relieved to have any firm news that I'm jumping the gun. I've just been offered a newly established professorship in history at Copenhagen Business School. CBS is regarded as amongst the best business schools in the world and is probably (TM) the best centre in the world in my own discipline. I should be made up but right now we're just exhausted by what has been a tortuous process (I won't go into the grisly details).

andy_e · August 27, 2019, 08:55:22 am

Good work Andy. I'm sure it'll sink in soon and you'll be happy!

SA Chris · August 27, 2019, 09:11:22 am

Nice Andy, how soon is that happening??

andy popp · August 27, 2019, 01:49:40 pm

Potentially very soon (Sept/Oct), though there's a lot to put in place.

SA Chris · August 27, 2019, 01:53:07 pm

Wow. You globetrotter you.

Falling Down · August 27, 2019, 04:41:50 pm

Wow. Congratulations Andy! That’s brilliant news.

mrjonathanr · August 27, 2019, 05:24:38 pm

Congratulations Andy. Hope it all goes well for you.

Oldmanmatt · August 27, 2019, 05:25:59 pm

Congratulations Andy.
Better than CIA...

Bit flat around there, mind.

But some of the best indoor climbing ever.
Congrats man!

fatneck · August 28, 2019, 09:45:27 am

Nice one Andy! So pleased this seems to have worked out for you!!

Yossarian · August 28, 2019, 11:19:25 am

I love the idea of a Copenhagen Business School press release confirming your appointment, explaining, “Popp chose to announce his acceptance of this new professorial position via the YES YES FUCKING YES pages of UK Bouldering”.

Will Hunt · August 28, 2019, 11:24:57 am

Does this mean a move is on the cards? It feels like a stupid question but I know some academics have positions at institutions where they work mostly remotely.

Nice one, Andy.

SA Chris · August 28, 2019, 11:25:43 am

Out of interest Andy, in your Academic career, how many students / peers have know about you for your climbing exploits?

If, like TomTom, you're going to be commuting from Pennsylvania to Denmark, stopping off and bouldering at variopus locations on the way then I for one would love to read about it on Power Club.

OTOH if you're relocating, fancy a trip to Bohuslan once you're settled??
