Turn left or turn right from a heading of 160?

You're losing me. What I said is if you get to 1,300 in less than 2.6 miles,
which is presumably before you pass through the radial, you then turn left as
necessary from runway heading to intercept the radial. If, on the other hand,
you are climbing at a gradient that takes you through the radial before you get
to 1,300 then you would turn left to intercept the radial once leaving 1,300.
