Wisteria,
many honeysuckles, many clematis, Akebia quinata, a few roses and
probably more. Most temperate climbers will grow happily with no
direct sun if they get plenty of light.

However, Wisteria, which fits the brief exactly, likes a lot of sun on the
top growth to flower well but it's not needed on the stem. If it's in the
shade permanently it won't flower much if at all.

Tell that to mine! No sun except the very evening sun in summer
and then filtered through trees. It is covered with flower every
year it escapes early frost.

Now, it is possible that this is a wood ripening effect, and I am
writing from Cambridge, which has perhaps the most reliably warm
summer days in the UK. Which isn't saying much :-(
