[Princess Bride] How did Humperdink get his goons and their horses to the top of the Cliffs of Despair?

The rope climb is not the only way to the top of the cliffs.  It is merely the most direct, fastest if you are fit enough, and most likely to prevent their follower from following (which didn't work in Vesini's case).

Humperdink and his posse rode up the back way, on winding mountain trails, and it likely took them hours versus the minutes that it took to climb the rope.
