?? obviously not established sport climbs, but places where drytooling is acceptable.

I'm not sure and I would check with locals, but what about Hangman's cave just outside of Markleville?

So it's not too close to Reno/Tahoe (and you might already know about it) but the best drytooling/mixed climbing on the east side is in Lee Vining Canyon, in the Narrows. The rock ranges from okay to excellent, and the routes run the spectrum from not-too-steep alpine simulators to very steep sport-bolted routes. All were put up in the winter and/or specifically as mixed climbs.
