I think that it was a combination of two things:
1) They were too much to the south to go over that pass, and if they would, it would take so much time, that Sauron would have all his forces ready and that Minas Tirith was taken.
2) I thought that Bilbo and his group passed the Misty Mountains in spring.
When the Fellowship reaches the Caradhras, it is already early autumn. If they would have gone back, it would be winter and they would have to wait until next spring to pass the High Pass.
