Is it possible to confront Dagoth Ur from the beginning of the game?

Let's suppose someone has just started a new game and has just stepped off the boat in Seyda Neen. Is there anything, aside from the difficulty of the monsters, stopping the player from walking up Red Mountain and confronting Dagoth Ur?

For example, is the Ghost Gate locked until some part of the main quest has been completed? Even so, there's that secret entrance into Red Mountain underneath Kogoruhn that would grant you access into the Ghost Fence.

Additionally, is it absolutely neccesary to to acquire Kagrenac's Tools to defeat Dagoth Ur, or do they simply make him easier to beat? Would a hypothetical infinitely-leveled character still be able to take him down?

I remember attempting this with cheats way back when. Setting my strength to something like 5000 and killed him in a few minutes. The quest line didn't progress properly though.

With lesser means, aka starting from the boat, it would take forever. I don't see anything else stopping you from getting there, but I would imagine it would take over an hour or more to deal out that kind of damage.
