You may want to consider an OM-2000. Then again, the 4Ts will still
fire at 1/60 and with Velvia, that's an f/16 shot in daylight, probably
closer to f/11 up there, I dunno. Take and note several 'typical'
readings in case the batteries do fail and you have to rely on 1/60.

If you have a 135/2.8, take it instead of one of the wides. (And a
Zuiko 2X if you've got it.)
