In our garden there's a bleak wall I'd like to cover up by planting a
climber. It's in shade part of the day. Any suggestions? The climber can
be planted directly into the soil of the flowerbed that's at the base.
So I just literally need ideas of what to plant! Thank you :)

You are in the UK? is the wall part of the house or separate? Is it wood
fencing, brick and mortar, or something elese? Makes a difference in what
you may want to do. Some for example will damage a mortar add brick wall (or
stone and mortar) but do well on wood fences.

Yes I am in the Uk. :) and It's wood, and it's part of my fence.
Although me and my neighbour are right next to each other we don't share
a fence so it wouldn't make any difference to him.

Assuming that ideally you would want an evergreen, I would suggest you
plant Hydrangea seemannii, its a vigorous, evergreen, self clinging
climbing hydrangea with large glossy attractive leaves and the usual
creamy white, lace-cap like summer flowers and originates from Mexico
but is quite hardy in the UK.
