Cattle Pocket and Corridors Area is a Bureau of Land Management climbing area in California, within the Bishop Field Office. It sits in the Bishop Field Office of the BLM, and several climbing pockets lie within a short distance, including The Cattle Pocket and Zoo Wall, each about 0.1 mile away. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Independence run from highs around 76°F with lows near 44°F in April to highs around 81°F with lows near 48°F in October. That station sits roughly 760 feet below the area, so temperatures at the climbing spots run somewhat cooler. The area has two routes, Jackie's Rack (5.6, trad) and Itty Bitty Titty Committee (5.8, sport), so climbers can mix traditional and sport styles. The Arch Loop Trail is about half a mile away, and Tuttle Creek Campground is roughly 2.7 miles off.
