Cavern may hold answers to hobbits riddle

I suppose that the spelunking "hobbits" didn't
really need the ascenders, carabiners, etc. usually
used in abseiling down and up an 80-foot deep shaft:

They might have gotten by with prussik knots ...

From the above article:

"I'd be very surprised if hobbits didn't fall down there,"
said archeologist Mike Morwood, co-leader of the team that
discovered the hobbits.

I wonder if they'll find the missing body of a certain Bre-X
geologist ...

Fall, get shoved. A dead body tossed to remove the stink. A
great place to throw trash but a real danger around kids.

At Dolina the bones have cut marks. At the pit of the bones
none have been cited to my knowledge. It also isn't likely
they got there by accident. The way is long and hard. Not sure
if another way in ever existed.

No other way in has been suggested for the hobbit site. 75
feet down is a pretty good drop below ground level. Kind of
like an old dry or rather damp well in the back of the cave.
