If you are out at Lost Hawk to climb Puppy Chow (5.8) and Chihuahua Power (5.9), which are the best climbs there, you might as well do this as well to mix it up a little bit. If you are facing the above mentioned climbs Dog Daze is a short overhanging face with bolts behind and to the right just a little ways.

I enjoyed this climb more than Chihuahua Power and Puppy Chow. I give it two stars out of three. I think the crux is the start, and when you get to the top, you have togo above the chains and straddle the pinnacle for the view!
Great climb, crux is the start for sure. Start seemed a little sandbaged at 10a. After the crimpy SHARP sidepull its pretty much jugs the rest of the way.
I concure the start is the crux which is well protected. The route climbs like it looks from the ground so take a moment to scope it out and you'll have no probelm. I enjoyed the route which added to the all around experience for Lost Hawk Pinnacle.
EFR mentioned in the guide that it's a bit contrived but I didn't feel forced. All in all, I felt it took you through the obvious line. So it gets a couple'a stars from me.
