I want to say myrtillocactus geometrizans but it looks too much like a stenocereus. I'm sure more columna specialist will have a better idea.
And as the walls come down and as I look in your eyes
My fear begins to fade recalling all of the times
I have died and will die.
It's all right.
I dont mind
I dont mind.
I DONT MIND

Not plants I am familiar with, but it looks like S. pruinosus to me.

I would agree that it is a Myrtillocactus geometrizans, they can produce 5-8 ribs. Mine has 5 ribs and looks very similar to your pictures.

This looks exactly like my M. geometrizans except mine ONLY has 5 ribs. It's the little short spines and the blue coloration that convince me.
