Some Cylindropuntia? A closeup showing more fine detail would help.

Maybe Cylindropuntia fulgida mamillata (monstrose)?

Yes, better - you can see the spines clearly, and the shape of the tubercles. I think teo already got it, though, Cylindropuntia fulgida var. Mammillata Monstrosa looks correct.
