 Exhibit 10.5 

PRIVATE PLACEMENT WARRANTS PURCHASE AGREEMENT 

THIS PRIVATE PLACEMENT WARRANTS PURCHASE AGREEMENT, dated as of September 14, 2021 (as it may from time to time be amended and including
all exhibits referenced herein, this “Agreement”), is entered into by and between Sierra Lake Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and Cantor Fitzgerald & Co. (the
“Purchaser”). 
 WHEREAS, the Company intends to consummate an initial public offering of the Company’s units
(the “Public Offering”), each unit consisting of one share of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (each, a “Share”), and one-half of one
redeemable warrant. Each whole warrant entitles the holder to purchase one Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per Share. The Purchaser has agreed to purchase an aggregate of 3,000,000 warrants regardless of whether the over-allotment option in
connection with the Public Offering is exercised in full (the “Private Placement Warrants”), each Private Placement Warrant entitling the holder to purchase one Share at an exercise price of $11.50 per Share. 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained in this Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the
receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement hereby, intending legally to be bound, agree as follows: 

AGREEMENT 

Section 1. Authorization, Purchase and Sale; Terms of the Private Placement Warrants. 

A. Authorization of the Private Placement Warrants. The Company has duly authorized the issuance and sale of the Private Placement
Warrants to the Purchaser. 
 B. Purchase and Sale of the Private Placement Warrants. On the date of the consummation of the Public
Offering, and concurrently with the consummation thereof, or on such earlier time and date as may be mutually agreed by the Purchaser and the Company (the “Closing Date”), the Company shall issue and sell to the Purchaser, and the
Purchaser shall purchase from the Company 3,000,000 Private Placement Warrants at a price of $1.00 per warrant for an aggregate purchase price of $3,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchase Price shall be paid by wire transfer
of immediately available funds to the Company in accordance with the Company’s wiring instructions at least one business day prior to the date of effectiveness of the registration statement to be filed in connection with the Public Offering. On
the Closing Date, the Company, shall either, at its option, deliver a certificate evidencing the Private Placement Warrants purchased by the Purchaser on such date duly registered in the Purchaser’s name to the Purchaser, or effect such
delivery in book-entry form. 
 C. Terms of the Private Placement Warrants. 

(i) The Private Placement Warrants shall have their terms set forth in a Warrant Agreement to be entered into by the Company and a warrant
agent, in connection with the Public Offering (a “Warrant Agreement”). 
 (ii) At or prior to the time of the Closing Date,
the Company and the Purchaser shall enter into a registration rights agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company will grant certain registration rights to the Purchaser relating to the Private
Placement Warrants and the Shares underlying the Private Placement Warrants. 
 D. FINRA Restrictions. 

The undersigned further acknowledges and agrees that the Private Warrants will be deemed compensation by the Financial Industry Regulatory
Authority (“FINRA”) and will therefore, be subject to restrictions imposed by FINRA Rule 5110(e). The Private Warrants and underlying shares may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated or be the subject of
any hedging, short sale, derivative, put or call transaction that would result in the economic disposition of such securities by any person for a period of 180 days immediately following the effective date of the registration statement except to any
member participating in the offering and the officers or partners, registered persons or affiliates thereof or as permitted by FINRA Rule 5110(e)(2). In addition, for as long as the Private Warrants are held by Cantor or its designees or
affiliates, they may not be exercised after five years from the effective date of the registration statement. Cantor will have resale registration rights, but may not exercise its demand and “piggy back” registration rights beyond five
(5) and seven (7) years, respectively, after the effective date of the registration statement and may not exercise its demand rights on more than one occasion.

 C. Investment
Representations. 
 (i) The Purchaser is acquiring the Private Placement Warrants and, upon exercise of the Private Placement Warrants,

distribution thereof. 
 (ii) The Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501(a)(3) of Regulation D
of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). 
 (iii) The Purchaser understands that the Securities
are being offered and will be sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of the United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and the
Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations and warranties of the Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Purchaser to acquire such Securities. 

(iv) The Purchaser did not enter into this Agreement as a result of any general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule
502(c) under the Securities Act. 
 (v) The Purchaser has been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and
operations of the Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of the Securities which have been requested by the Purchaser. The Purchaser has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the executive officers and directors of the
Company. The Purchaser understands that its investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk and it has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to
the acquisition of the Securities. 
 (vi) The Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government
or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment in the Securities by the Purchaser nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the

under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (1) subsequently registered thereunder or (2) sold in reliance on an exemption therefrom; and (b) except as

of any exemption thereunder. While such Purchaser understands that Rule 144 under the Securities Act is not available for the resale of securities initially issued by shell companies (other than business combination related shell companies) or
issuers that have been at any time previously a shell company, such Purchaser understands that Rule 144 includes an exception to this prohibition if the following conditions are met: (i) the issuer of the securities that was formerly a shell
company has ceased to be a shell company; (ii) the issuer of the securities is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”); (iii) the
issuer of the securities has filed all Exchange Act reports and material required to be filed, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports; and (iv) at least one year has elapsed from the time that the issuer filed current Form 10 type information with the SEC reflecting its status as an entity that is not a shell company. 

(viii) The Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters, knowledge of the high degree of risk associated with
investments in the securities of companies in the development stage such as the Company, is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities and is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities in the
amount contemplated hereunder for an indefinite period of time. The Purchaser has adequate means of providing for its current financial needs and contingencies and will have no current or anticipated future needs for liquidity which would be
jeopardized by the investment in the Securities. The Purchaser can afford a complete loss of its investment in the Securities.
