A widebody flight crew failed to intercept the initial leg of the pom 7 SID from ont. Believed a rapid rate of climb after takeoff to have been a contributing distraction.

Narrative:
Departing ont we were assigned the pom 7 departure. Failed to intercept the initial radial; immediately called socal departure and asked for a vector to intercept course. We were given a heading to intercept the outbound radial and continued with the remainder of the pom 7. [We] complied with all crossing restrictions. We were concerned with our initial altitude restriction of 7000 ft because the aircraft was climbing at a rate of approximately 6000 fpm. This diverted our attention away from course intercept. An earlier reduction in climb rate would have allowed us to divide our attention between level off and course intercept.
