My old fingering chart for alto/bass clarinet shows this for g''': RT 2 | 1
2 3 Eb .
You may need to add the aperture key (left first finger, leaving the pinhole
open) to make it work, as with many of the altissimo notes on alto and bass.
If that doesn't work, try RT 1 | 1 or RT 1 3 | 1 . If you have
an automatic double register mechanism, it could change the way the pitch
and response of these fingerings.

Good luck,
