Sport Wall is a climbing area in Nevada's Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, within the Mountain City-Ruby Mountains-Jarbidge Ranger District. The Forest Service manages the land, and the wall sits close to the Lamoille-Gardner Creek trailhead, about 0.1 mile away. The climbing here is alpine, with six routes ranging from 5.6 to 5.11. Velcro Gloves is the easiest at 5.6, and Tres Amigos is the hardest at 5.11. The routes were first ascended between 2009 and 2026, with Tres Amigos going up by Michelle Locatelli and Richard and Lisa Harrison. For timing, late spring and early fall are the most comfortable. Typical averages from the nearby Lamoille Yost weather station show May highs around 65°F and September highs around 76°F, while July and August average in the mid-80s. Lamoille Canyon, about 1.8 miles away, and Seitz Canyon, also about 1.8 miles away, are the closest climbing and hiking options. Thomas Canyon Campground, roughly 4.8 miles off, offers a place to stay.
