Hmm, landing chart for go around?

Why the question mark? A landing chart is for landing but we have to
be prepared for the event of a go around. It makes perfect sense to me
that you would want to be sure you can climb out at a reasonable
gradient if you have to abort the landing..

In any event, my Cessna manuals both show pressure altitude on the
Takeoff and Landing charts. The chart also has columns to make
corrections for temperature (ie an approximation of density altitude)
and gives a formula for wind correction; there's no way to standardize
density altitude, really, except by a standard altitude (pressure/
temp). And that's what they do.

My take off chart has pressure , temp and also density altitude. The
landing chart only has pressure ht with no temp correction for the
climb wt limit section. I just dont understand why it isnt density
altitude. ( or the combination of pressure altitude and temp -which is
basically density altitude minus the humidity effect) The air density
and thus climb performance would be markedly different at 2000 ft
pressure altitude at temps of say 32 and 80 F yet I am supposed to
set the wt limit purely on the pressure altitude.
