Pack grew up in Middlebury, Vermont as the daughter of poet Robert Pack. As a child she was a competitive gymnast, but stopped after getting a stress fracture in her spine. She earned a degree in art and architecture from Yale University, and studied painting in Vermont and Paris before setting up an art studio in Seattle. She was formerly an ice climber, until a 2006 attack of compartment syndrome forced her to choose a climbing style that involved less gripping. She works as a cartographer, and lives in Missoula, Montana.

Her professional sponsors include La Sportiva and Edelweiss Ropes. In 2009, Climbing magazine gave her their Golden Piton award for establishing Gabriel, a 5.13 crack route on Angels Landing in Zion National Park.
