Something that might do well is Campsis. That grows like ivy, with

use, it should be low-maintenance.

That's a possible. Will it cling to concrete? Ivy doesn't.

That's a slippery concrete! Probably not, then, and I wouldn't
bet on Virginia creeper, either.

Parthenocissus tricuspidata or himalayana are the two that stick close
quinquefolia and henryana both pull themselves off unless its a rough
surface.

Just hanging some stock fencing down would widen the choice of what would
stay there
