    Lots of clematis will grow in full shade - here are 6 pages worth of them:

    A trowel in the hand is worth a thousand lost under a bush.

    Hydrangea petiolaris is nice.

    Many, many climbers will grow in shade - but you do need some light! Agree with all these, particularly Hydrangea petiolaris.  Also, check your soil - is it damp or dry, clay, loam or sand?  Whatever you choose, ensure you treat the soil accordingly.
