Multiple cosmological probes in photometric surveys can measure the cosmic structure. These include cluster abundances and positions, galaxy positions, and weak gravitational lensing shear. In this talk, I will outline a program that combines all these probes to maximize the cosmological science return. Then, using recent results from the Dark Energy Survey as a pathfinder example, I will describe the challenges and opportunities of this program for upcoming large cosmological surveys. I will further present some of the recent progress in tackling these challenges. These include developments of a novel and general sampling scheme that reduces the computational cost of the analysis by more than a factor of 50 and improvements in survey simulations for analysis validation. This talk will be concluded by discussing the prospects of this multi-probe cluster cosmology program in the Rubin Observatory's LSST and CMB-S4 era.
