Question about "Cat's Claw Vine" read on!?

Keep in mind: We live in Las Vegas, Nevada-- and the weather we have here! :)





One side of our house is almost all stucco wall except for 3 windows (two on bottom floor- at opposite sides of house, and 1 at center top floor) We are interested in planting "Cat's Claw Vine" in the center of two first floor windows and letting it climb as high as it wants on house. This wall faces south, and gets sun all day. We are told CC can deal with sun like this- is that true? Also, should I be concerned with any damage this vine could do to the stucco on the house or tile roof (if it ever gets that high)? Any other advice on this vine—or any other vines that you think would be a self-climbing vine to consider? Thanks in advance for your help! :)

Seems to be a mixed reaction to this plant. Biggest complaint is that it is very invasive. See the attached:
