The low pitch light indicates a propeller at flight fine pitch limit
Any power applied to an engine in this situation would overspend the prop and most importantly apply drag to the extent that level flight may no longer be possible.

My company procedure and that recommended by at ATR trg centre is to feather the affected engine as soon as possible.

A climb in any phase would not be possible as I've seen in the sim atleast.
