In the link above, note the Zucchino Rampicante (a.k.a.Tromboncino, Zucchetta Rampicante). Not a true zucchini, but a very elongated butternut relative that was bred for use as a summer squash. VERY vigorous vines, and a strong climber. It is also highly resistant to SVB, which is the reason I first started growing it. All the seeds are in the bulb at the end, so 90% of the very long squash is solid & seedless... making it great for freezing. I eat the bulb end fresh, and freeze the seedless portion.
You might also want to look into Costata Romanesca (or Romanesco). It is a trailing summer squash of outstanding quality. Haven't tried it personally, so don't know how well it climbs. Seeds are widely available, from High Mowing Seeds, Johnny's, and Fedco among others. (Fedco also carries Tromboncino.)
