Don't think installing steps at the base of climbs is a good idea. Might be better to just give the climb a free grade and an aid grade like Ozy.
eg " 20 (or M1 16) Start with a small cam for aid to get off the ground or climb free at 20" (or whatever grade you think it is)
Shame to spoil such a nice route with a horrible start.
