Honeysuckle? It's woody, but some varieties do take over chain link fencing, so I know it will climb to some extent. Smells delightful.

Honeysuckle would attract lots of fun Hummingbirds! Climbing Roses would be beautiful also. Do you want a vine that will provide shade only in the hot Summer or do you want one that keeps it's leaves all year long?
