I don't think it's celsianus, but definitely an Oreocereus.

all I know is it's an Oreocereus. 
Here's to you, all you insidious creatures of green..er I mean cacti.

Those stems look fairly thick. 4 to 5 inches?
How wide are they?

Oreocereus leucotrichus, maybe. Fantastic specimen, whatever it is.
