Moved to the Plant ID forum. Thumbs up

The image doesn't enlarge, can you provide close-ups of the leaves? Where and when was this photo taken? In MO?

There are likely many vines that grow in Montana but it's difficult to identify the particular plant from the photo you've provided. If you can upload another photo or two showing a closer view of the leaves, I'm sure someone will be able to identify it.

Agree with all the calls for more, clearer, and detailed images.

What is shown screams English Ivy (Hedera helix) to me, from the climbing/clinging habit and apparently simple alternate leaf arrangement.

Point of personal preference: please denote which state you live in. MO is the abbreviation for Missouri, but I can't google up a Whitefish, Missouri. MT is the abbreviation for Montana, where Whitefish is a nice place not far from Glacier National Park.

I think English Ivy could be grown in either state, though much more happy south than cold winter Montana.

I appreciate your help. I do not have a closer picture yet, but I can tell you that the plant is located in Alpharetta, Georgia.

The location helps! It's likely a variety of English Ivy (Hedera helix) but an exact identification could likely be obtained with a closer view of the plant/leaves.

Now that we know where the plant is located, Creeping Fig seems likely to me also.

Hard to tell for sure without a closer view but here's our database entry for Creeping Fig (Ficus pumila)
