You did, of course, check out the Special Notices in the AIM about circling
the mountain, like no closer than three miles and 3000 ft agl?

(Checking my sectional)

I was briefed by Seattle FSS the first time I flew it to keep those
distances and make left traffic around the summit. If it's in the AIM,
I don't know it.

Looking at the course I plotted I surmise I was at least three miles
away, with an MSL altitude of 8,500 feet. Until that updraft. Along
the course line that altitude is at least 4000 AGL. No problem.
