Narrative:

During a visual approach; [we] received a terrain warning and 'pull up'. Pilot flying began missed approach procedure. After clearing conflict; returned to normal flight regime and continued the approach visually. During the approach I commented to the pilot flying to remain over the lights that surround the higher terrain to the left of us. The pilot flying corrected course but not enough for the strong wind which was pushing us toward the higher terrain. I was accomplishing checklists while monitoring the terrain as I could see it. Our terrain displays showed all higher areas of terrain to our left by more than two miles. [They were] used as a backup to our visual cues. A red terrain marking appeared on the moving map at the same time as the warnings. The pilot flying took corrective actions to gain separation.

Title: A First Officer on a RDM night visual approach was slow to correct for terrain clearance and executed an escape maneuver in response to an EGPWS Terrain Warning. A normal approach and landing followed the return to profile.
