 Routine extreme altissimo OK

Is there anybody out there in clarinet land that routinely and dependably incorporates B4 and C4 into their own Bb clarinet solos? (By B4 I mean the 4th B, B1 is in lower chalumeau, B2 is lowest clarion long pipe, B3 is near top of clarion, B4 is beyond the top of the usual altissimo. C4 is an octave above the thumb+register key top clarion C3. Sorry if this is non-standard nomenclature, but Ridenour calls this C4 in his fingering book.)

Or perhaps you've tried to do this and given up. Either way, I'd like to have a discussion here about the various technical aspects. For now, let me just say I'm able to play them regularly and easily, but not dependably. That's because my reeds won't stay ready to play them more than a couple of minutes of play, then I have to restore by sanding or trimming and I'm good for a couple of songs, or 1 song, or half a song. I never have trouble with the notes up through the Bb just below B4/C4.

Am I trying to do the impossible?

Thanks!
Stan

PS- please listen to http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g03y2AgnpK0, where I hit C4's at 0:56, 1:15, 2:27, and 2:46.
