Answer:

hasty generalization

Explanation:

In this example, on the basis that the climber can climb a rock wall on the gym he concludes that he is ready to climb Mount Everest, which for all practical purposes, given the difficulty that Mount Everest would present, would be like stating that he can climb any wall in any given scenario.
