Cactus Identification 2

It seems like it'd be a good idea to have a thread dedicated to cactus identification.
What you would do is: upload a picture of the cactus/cacti in question, along with some characteristics, such as number of ribs, and then someone would try to identify it. Then the next person would be able to post theirs and so on... Or it can just be for this one.
Anyway, I'll start it off:
Sorry for the quality (cell phone) here are some pictures, this thing is a giant, and I'm guessing that it was grafted a lot? or does it just grow like that? Didn't have time to count ribs, sorry. If it is active, I plan on politely asking for a cutting

i got one right now, though it just started to establish new growth from transplanting about 2 months ago, so im not too sure on how fast they grow.

is it too young to graft something onto it? I have a crazy idea that I'm going to graft my Cereus Peruvianus Monster onto the top of this blue mrytle...and the Cereus is like the size of a baseball, so i hope itll be fine as long as i support the cactus till it gets established.
