    You already have the most expensive part needed for a small safe crane, your backhoe. The attachment made by Reaper: EX-FRW-100 (no affiliation, I've just seen them on forestry jobs) would swap out you current bucket with a grapple/hydraulic winch combo, it has a 10.000LB winch which should be more then enough for your current tasks. I can't tell if your backhoe has an auxiliary hydraulic line already ran (needed to run the winch), if it doesn't your most cost effective option would be to have diverter valves and quick connects added to your bucket curl lines, this would change your curl control to winch IN and OUT when the valves are diverted. It may even be worth adding auxiliary lines at some point as having a fully functional grapple would be useful for picking up debris and pulling down structures.

    Fill up your fire suppression truck and use high pressure water to wash everything downward. There’s a drain someplace or it would be full of water. Turn the dirt and mud into a fast running slurry and just work your way down. You’ll still have to haul out the rocks the previous person used to fill the hole, but the dirt/ clay will be gone. Then you use a small crane with a gravity claw to pull up rocks.

    Weld a receiver hitch onto the backhoe and use the big winch you already have for the trucks. Then weld a hoop to hook a block and tackle onto the bucket.
    Then you can use the winch to raise/lower the bucket the extra distance. That way you dont have to buy any new equipment and are still able to dump it the same way you have been.

    3 provide dry air
    When below ground level you can get low oxygen levels because you don’t get enough air exchange.

    Matt, if you’re trying to figure out how to get people in and out of the pit, consider looking into how cavers ascend and descend ropes. Systems for vertical cave sections have existed and are quite robust and safe! If you build the A-frame other have been mentioning you can fix a line and rappel/ascend the rope to get in and out quite easily. This could be much more cost effective and safer than pulling people in and out with a winch or crane!

    Next cave shift should be prep work top side, clearing debris and stepping down ground level to a clean rock surface with vehicle access. Then wet work... jet wash first cave level completely. Get it back to grippy rock. Drill lower shaft wall for step irons to bolt to, forget about ladder hassle in that workspace - step irons are in manholes because they're the best solution there is!

Between that and mounting a hitch receiver on the bucket for his portable winch, he'd have a full video of prep work for the next cave video.

    Matt, they MAKE winch attachments for the front of skid-steers (Robby Layton has one he's used in several of his videos). Why couldn't you buy a winch for your skid steer (it would come in handy at times), figure out how to also mount that boom you saw online with a pulley at the tip of it and you'll have a "portable crane"? It's a possibility. ;)

    Many said A frame, but i would say boom + A frame. Essentially, you build the A frame near the hole (with the legs bolted to the ground) and have a piece of healthy, girthy rope under to have a pole that can swing over the hole and to the side. When you lift stuff from the hole, you have the pole stuck on the ground, preferably to another bolt so it doesn't move, then you unhook it and use mechanical advantage to swing the weight over the side on a hand pushed truck to reach the pile.
    Alternatively, go full mine style and have a framer build you a wooden track for a winch pulled ore cart that doubles as lift.
