The vines had leaves in the winter - right?
Just thought I'd ask, because if you are in California, and there were no leaves on the vines in winter, its probably poison oak vine. Small chance of a Clematis, but not likely. Poison oak vines can reach well over 100 feet. I saw one in the redwoods not long ago, that's probably approaching 200 feet.
English Ivy is one broadleaf evergreen ivy that has invaded many woodlands and yards in the USA.
The English ivy photo that TreeCo posted is missing leaves because the vines are dead, otherwise it holds leaves all year.
