Anybody know of some good alpine sport routes in or around the sierra? Also wondering if anyone knows a few of the longest sport routes in or around the sierras?

Gong Show Wall in Rock Creek.
Highland and Kilt Walls on Crystal Crag. There are various other similar walls around Mammoth, including Dike Wall, etc.
Not sure if the Mike Strassman Memorial on Lone Pine Peak would qualify as a sport route, but it's probably the highest altitude bolted route I can think of. If Pine Creek Canyon falls into your category, there are some longer sport routes there that have been put up over the past several years. The Sierra is actually a terrific incentive to get your trad on.
There are some on Whitney Portal Buttress. Look that up on MP
At the Tunnels or Vista Mt up on the Angeles Crest, by the CLOSED Williamson rock, a few on the Smckelhorn (the east most formation) 2 pitch deals that Jeff and I put up 3 years ago that somehow didn't make the new So Cal sport climbing book.
Mt. Charlston (sp) by Las Vegas has some long ones,- 3p left of the main HOOD or whatever thay now call it.
Not trying to Troll or anything but the term "Alpine Sport Route" is almost a contradiction in terms. Outside of the European Alps you probably won't find very many bolted lines up mountains... It's kind of like asking where you can find more Kompressor routes...
