Default Climbers for shade

I am trying to find a vine/climber that will grow in an area that receives
only about 2 or 3 hours of sunlight per day. I have found many that will
grow in full or partial sun, but none that will grow where I want to plant
them.

Any suggestions?

Thanks,

Feckless, is that you? Humph. Well a professional is a professional, I
suppose. Try English Ivy. It won't grow quickly in shadow but it will
grow with just a bit of Sun. I'm trying to fill in 40 ft. of chain link
fence, underneath oak and bay trees (heaps of shade). It will probably
take another couple of years. Sounds like you have more Sun, so it
shouldn't take that long.
