Local here: There used to be a massive block at the start, not one that could be moved. It was an actual ramp up to around 2 feet up the route. The start is now disproportionaly harder than the rest of the route. The council bulldozed the floor of the quarry after they pulled a massive hanging rock off the top of wellington crack - it had been deemed to be unsafe. This removed all the other boulders that were on the quarry floor including the one at the start of fairy steps. I can't remember when they did it but it was around 1999 - 2005 if I had to guess. So yeah - starting on a pad/rock is absolutely fine for this route
