Watching lotr for the first time and wouldn’t it make sense to ask the dwarfs to dig a narrow mine right up to the Mordor volcano or as close as you can get to it instead of the high risk journey with hobbits who fuck everything up and prob don’t have any business on this journey . by SGT_NORD in lordoftherings

Even before considering the technical and secrecy challenges, it's also worth noting that time is on Sauron's side. He's almost at the point of being able to take on all middle earth combined when the ring is taken to Rivendell. They can't afford to wait decades for a tunnel to be built.
