Er, nose-high attitude leading to loss of control in pitch and bank with a rapidly unwinding altimeter? Sounds a lot like a stall to me...
The pitch was not lost, and bank was controlled.... And it remained nose high....
"but it was the pilot who held it nose high".......no one knows, it was the pilot who held the stick back, and the THS that held the nose.
The thing that concerns is the lack of the only two airframe warnings available, buffet and Nose drop. Besides, what matters is what PF thought, not you nor I...
