The only way to avoid terrain with certainty is to avoid it with a wide berth or by flying above it at a minimum safe altitude, whatever the flight conditions.
It's all very well saying "I would not have started from here". IMHO it's worth the discussion. I would say that it depends on the information you have and what you can see, a violent turn or climb is probably worth a try.
