It took me about another half hour to (mistakenly) go too far north then east while avoiding rocky outcrops, before traversing back south on a steep, rough, slippery hillside to the crash coordinates. All while frequently checking my position on a map app, but somehow it was disorienting too.

This cardboard "foggle" (IFR training mask) was the first bit of wreckage I saw confirming I was at the crash site. There were small bits of mostly plastic and metal scattered over a wide area, but they'd removed everything bigger than 6-8" across.
