My apologies for being vague about the approach in question.
I didn't correct it because others cleared it up immediately.



I thought that was contrary to TERPS procedures.

What makes you think that?

What I see in TERPS is that the altitude needs to be sufficient to allow
*holding* or *enroute flight*.

Where do you see a requirement for an altitude high enough to start another
approach?



You're certainly right - It was the "en-route flight" phrase that made me
think the missed approach procedure had to take you above MSA. In practice,
I've seen missed approach holds that are slightly lower than the published
IAF's, but I can't remember seeing one where they hold you at an altitude that
does not provide terrain clearance in the immediate (10nm) vicinity of the
airport.
