I suspect _Phoenix_ may have meant to refer to the aircraft being in a nose-up attitude rather than "climbing".
No, WE know that aircraft was falling in a nose-up attitude.
But, Capt. Dubois mental picture was different: "why the aircraft was climbing while sidestick was forward"... HE was right!
2 h 12 min 32,4 Dubois: No you climb there // aft -8 deg // up 5 deg // No Stall Warning
Then, he might saw Bonin pushing sidestick at full forward stop, the stall warning goes off... "nice! as expected"
there was no sustained effort on the part of either PF or PNF to get the elevators to nose down and hold them there
Again, PF kept sidestick forward for 10 sec. He was a glider pilot too, imagine that input for a glider
..sometimes, I'm wondering why Airbus doesn't replace sidestick with a touch screen ADIRU, linked to a tablet, so the capt. can fly the plane from rest area or lavatory.
