In the Clarinet Concerto by Finnish composer Kalevi Aho, page 5 (1st ed.), rehearsal letter D1, there is a similar long glissado up to high C, but this one starts on written A above the staff, one whole tone above the gliss in the Shaw piece. I wonder if this is an allusion to Shaw inserted by Frost (who participated in the composition process). In any case, if you can play one of these you can probably easily play the other.
Some change mouthpieces when they play glisses like these. Personal experimentation with fingerings (and possibly mouthpieces and facings more responsive to pitch-sliding) is necessary rather than relying on dogma or rules of thumb. Fingerings and facings that work for one player may flop for another.
