These aren't easy. Oh, and I do apologise for my absence, despite me mourning the past inactivity of this thread. These riddles aren't really attached to anything, and my memory fails me now... maybe later.

Well, you were only being fair by telling that it was a non-ME riddle and I was already on the track that it was "timely" so you didn't do to bad.
Went down, then fell, then rose, then fell, then went down again, then rose Who am I? Bump-and-a-hint: both "goings down" mean the same thing, but it speaks of two different kinds of "falling" and two different kinds of "rising." You will also notice that I have now given that the answer is a who.

All the falling, I'm getting a picture of Frodo in that ridiculous Shelob scene (from the movie, of course) where he seemed to forget how to walk... is that any kind of close?

A reaching guess...
Gandalf... Went down into Moria. Fell off the bridge. Rose by climbing to the peak. Fell from the peak after dispatching the Balrog. Went down into the world of the dead (I'm not really my explanation for this part) Rose again as Gandalf the white.

I was thinking: Went down into Moria Fell off the bridge Rose by climbing the peak Fell in battle against the Balrog Was carried down to Lothlorien Rose again as Gandalf the White But four out of six is excellent for such a riddle! Hhhhhmmmm, now I must think of a riddle worthy to follow it.

Turn the 6 into a 7 and I have a solution (clearly not the one you are looking for). Right now I'm scratching my head...
