There was only one entrance to the ring wall of stone round Orthanc. This was in the south.  (The Road to Isengard; Bk 2).

Orthanc was made of four joined pillars of rock (there is a Tolkien drawing of it) and was 500 ft high.

Merry and Pippin came in from the north down the long ravine on the slopes of Mount Methedras.
