The wind direction for the take off couldn't have been much better, with it fore port side, it mitigates the likelihood of reduced tail rotor effectiveness while maximising forward wind component for a forced landing prior to tdp.
The report doesn't indicate the point at which the climb paused. It references undercarriage retraction at 320', and that maximum rad alt height was 430'. Aside from there being a pause, and that left pedal was applied to no effect, somewhere in the mix, we really know no more.
