Lost Temple Spire is a climbing area in the Bridger Wilderness, part of the Pinedale Ranger District of Bridger-Teton National Forest in Wyoming. The Forest Service manages the land, and the spire sits within designated wilderness, which makes it a remote objective for alpine climbers. The area has five alpine routes, all rated between 5.10a and 5.11b on the YDS scale. West Face Central is the easiest at 5.10a, and Separation Anxiety is the hardest at 5.11b. The West NW Face Anderson-Garrett route, also 5.10b, was first climbed by Dave Anderson and James Garrett in August 1986. The Deep Lake Area and Deep Lake Dome climbing areas are both within a mile, and Haystack Mountain is about 1.5 miles away. For a change from the rock, Black Joe is a hike roughly 3 miles off.
