Adventures In Climbing, LLC

What Adventures In Climbing, LLC does

Adventures In Climbing, LLC is a privately held, family-owned mobile event entertainment rental company headquartered in Ontario, New York, founded in 2007 by Jim Porcelli Jr. Following the founder's passing in 2026, ownership and day-to-day operations transitioned to his wife Andrea Porcelli, who serves as President. The company delivers, sets up, staffs, and removes rented entertainment equipment — including inflatables (bounce houses, slides, obstacle courses), mechanical rides (rock climbing walls with auto-belay safety systems, mechanical bull, Eurobungy, mobile axe throwing), carnival games, water attractions, and outdoor movie screens — at customer locations across New York State and Pennsylvania, serving birthday parties, school events, festivals, corporate team-building, and brand activations.

The core technology stack consists of physical entertainment assets rather than software: an inventory of 150+ rental items ranging from consumer inflatables to taller mechanical rides (the 4-station rock climbing wall reaches 28 feet), plus supporting event infrastructure (tents, tables, chairs, generators, entertainers, fun food equipment). Proprietary safety components include auto belay systems on rock climbing walls. Adjacent operational assets include a managed fleet of 12 Cruise America RVs handled under a separate RV rental program, and a sister-company relationship with Anchor Tents and Party Rentals that allows bundling entertainment with event infrastructure.

Revenue is generated via quote-based one-time rentals plus optional full-service staffing. Pricing is custom per event based on selected products, duration, and travel distance (free within 25 miles of Rochester, NY; $2/mile beyond), with premium fees for early/late time slots and major holidays. Channels are direct: website quote forms, phone inquiries, and geographic onsite delivery. The customer base spans consumers (private parties), schools and municipalities (carnivals, field days), enterprises (corporate events), and notable brand-activation clients including Nickelodeon, Buffalo Bills, Lockheed Martin, Post Brand Cereal, and major television networks. The company is not institutionally funded and is exclusively family-owned.
