Obviously, it isn't what the pilot was doing as he applied sustained nose-up, no? Otherwise, every single procedure calling for TOGA would fit with your definition of what he was doing. It would better fit with WINDSHEAR procedure in this case.
As the BEA did not provide any hint about any manual change of N1 rate during the first part of the climb (between 0210:05 and 0210:50), we may also think that the PF realised he climbed to 37,500 ft without adding any thrust from 35,000 ft and was trying to compensate for it. Maximum N1 is about 115%, but I don't know if such level could be reached in current conditions... at 35,000 ft, he was flying at about 95% N1.

Is what you quoted from 2009 or a current manual. It was noted in some incarnation of this thread that the procedures had been altered and something had been added to the QRH regarding stalls.
This FCOM quote is dated March 2003 (Rev 18). Most people did not look at the FCOM 3 which is providing "supplementary techniques" (3.04.27).
