Maybe you're still working on your instrument rating? I think some time back in the books might be in order (preferably before your next instrument approach
).
An early missed approach doesn't alleviate your responsibility to fly the ground track of the instrument approach procedure. If the procedure calls for a climbing turn
at the MAP, then you fly the lateral guidance
to the MAP and execute the procedure from there. Maybe by the time you get there, it's no longer a climbing turn because you're already at the missed approach altitude.
