Narrative:
We departed runway 8 for the MNZNO3 departure. After switching to and checking in with departure we were given climb on the MNZNO3 departure except climb and maintain 9;000. We crossed yuglu at 9;000. The next fix was mnzno. On the departure the restriction is 250 at or above 11;500 in order to safety clear the mountains. We were told to maintain 9;000 and expect higher in 4 miles. Then departure became busy with another aircraft and I was unable to get a word in to ask for higher. As we approached mnzno our next fix was a [left] turn to txo. We were still at 9;000 feet when we started our turn to txo. Just as I instructed my first officer to turn to a southern heading in order to stay clear of the mountains we received the GPWS alert. The autopilot disconnected and we hand flew the plane to a southern heading to parallel the mountains. At the same time departure saw what was happening and gave us a southern heading and a clearance to climb. We continued on the southern heading until we were at a safe altitude to clear the terrain then turned right on course.
