Since you have Raspberry canes just 50 cm away ant climber would need to be
well controlled
I agree Clematis Armandii would be lovely just be prepared to tie in the
tendrils from now onwards through growing season

You are a bright Spark!

As always, it depends on the situation and soil, but you can
either use one of the self-clinging creepers, from Campsis to
Hydrangea petiolaris to Virginia creeper to ivy, or fix something
for creepers to climb up. If the latter, then Clematis armandii
is one of the best covering plants and would make a spectacular
show in spring on that length!

I would tend to provide something for climbers to go up and plant
a variety of them.
