Mandy here:
Yes I agree. There had to have been a way for Tom Riddle to get in 
and out of the Chamber.

We know of only one way in, and that is from the sink in the girl's 
bathroom. A pipe leading down hundreds of feet below the school, but 
you can't get out of the Chamber that way.  Only the Basilisk could, 
as it was a blood big snake that can slither up and out of vertical 
pipes.  No human would ever climb out of that pipe Harry, Ron and 
Lockhart slid down to get into the Chamber.  Remember Fawlks flew 
them out.  

There has to be another entrance.  One that Tom used fifty years 
earlier to get in and out, and one that will be used again, as the 
girl's bathroom entrance is now partially blocked by the rubble from 
Ron's wand backfiring the Memory Charm onto Lockhart.

Cheers Mandy
