Biography

My name is Davis Ngo. You may know me as @dr.climb. I am a first-generation Vietnamese-American climber and Doctor of Physical Therapy with over a decade of climbing experience. I believe in the power of climbing as a force of healing, of connection, inclusion, and joy. Like many others, climbing has influenced and changed my life in innumerable ways. It has taken me places I never thought I would go, and introduced me to many of my best friends and chosen family. on many occasions and in several different circumstances, I have felt it has saved my life and brought me back on course when I’ve felt lost and astray. It is simultaneously my safe space, and my place to seek discomfort and growth. I owe so much to climbing and the climbing community, and I feel that now I am seeking ways to give back. As my career progresses forward, I hope to be a positive voice for the climbing community. I truly believe that climbing is for everyone, and everyone should feel welcome here.
