How to climb stairs / slopes with Mecanim?

Question

Mecanim Humanoid system is great and easy to use indeed. But I have no idea how to make a bipedal character climb stairs.

If I adjust the stair height properly, I can somehow cheat the effect. The main problem is planting the feet at the correct place.

In case of walking / running on slopes, feet don't plant properly.

Is it possible to use my walk-cycle or run-cycle animation to do this properly? Or, will I have to make new animation for climbing stairs?

I am using capsule collider with Rigidbody instead of Character controller.

Thanks in advance.

Mecanim has similar Inverse Kinematics functionality to the legacy Locomotion System, but it requires Unity Pro.

Thanks for replying. We have Unity Pro here. Just read the doc but I still don't have a clear idea on how to use this system to make a character walk / run on stairs / slopes. Could you please explain a bit? Thanks in advance.
