Well, appropriate crank torque at an appropriate cadence (whatever that is) will be a function of watts, would it not? And thus such torque will be individual even if the cadence is specified, i.e. it doesn't matter and we have no way of measuring it anyway, except by calculating back from the PM which most of us don't have anyway. So I don't understand the reasoning behind your question. What do you think is the appropriate crank torque? Or are you implying that you have no strong feelings about appropriate climbing cadence for yourself or anyone else, much less crank torque, and therefore you don't it's appropriate for me in particular to advocate any particular cadence range for anything?
