Depends on your fitness and adaptation to altitude. Fitness helps at altitude, but is no guarantee of performance. I've seen a number of very fit people bonk up high because they think they should be able to zoom up, but then the lack of oxygen leads to head aches or worse. Much better to take it easy, listen to your body, and force yourself to breathe deep and not get winded. Carrying a big complicated camera is a bit much for most people, esp. if they aren't used to this type of thing.
In my own climbing I mostly go with a small P&S (Sony RX100V now) that I carry in a padded hip pocket of my day pack. It is very easy to get in and out, and simple to use, even when tired. A top of the line modern phone could also work, but I find it harder to work with gloves on. Having a larger camera hanging off you is a hassle climbing, leaving it in the pack you won't take many pictures. I often hike with my Sony A7rII + 24-105mm in a Lowe bag slung around my shoulder, but leave it home when on a tougher climb, or when backcountry skiing.
Good luck on the climb. Looking forward to some pictures.
