It's the Melted Wax mutation of Bridgesii. I have no idea what caused the radical bends in the column, the mutation or some injury, but it was about a third that size when I acquired it and I suspect it looked so misshapen the previous owner might have thought it was done for.
Interesting. I never heard of the "melted wax" mutation before. That is super interesting. I love the mutated strains. The TPQC I have is my facvorite of all my cacti May we continue to be blessed

I am particularly in love with your thick and vigorous Bridgesii Grey Fox. They look real tasty!!!
Thanks antichode! Your cacti are lovely as well! I really like those thick, short spined ones. Are those Pachanoi or Scopulicola or a cross? I love seeing photos of these collections. Keep them coming everyone! IT WAS ALL A DREAM

You know I’m really not sure about that one short spine. It was given to me over 12 years ago and I was told it was a Pach but I’m guessing it’s a hybrid of something. It grows bigger and faster than anything else and can handle higher nitrogen levels unlike all my other pachanoi. It’s a beast! Strong too.

When they are swollen thick like that and well hydrated it can be hard to differentiate between Pachanoi and Scopulicola. But to me those areoles and tips look like there is some Scop genetics in there. IT WAS ALL A DREAM

This makes me smile. Charming little things - nice work, tatt! “There is a way of manipulating matter and energy so as to produce what modern scientists call 'a field of force'. The field acts on the observer and puts him in a privileged position vis-à-vis the universe. From this position he has access to the realities which are ordinarily hidden from us by time and space, matter and energy. This is what we call the Great Work." ― Jacques Bergier, quoting Fulcanelli

Nice! How old were they when you put them in the ground outside? How did you acclimate them to the sun and how much sun are they getting? Looks like at least a few hours of direct sunlight... "In this secret room, from the past, I seek the future..."

I'm in Zone 7a so am limited to pots. They get plenty of sun during the day, the problem in the middle of the Summer is limiting the amount of time they spend baking in the heat. In my experience Trichs want all the light you can give them but they seem too stall out in high temps. Sometimes those high temps (100F +) begin as early as June here. Placing them so they get morning sun/afternoon shade seems to help. I've toyed with the idea of putting a hard shell on the greenhouse and air conditioning it during the Summer, buuuuut...expense. My flesh moves, like liquid. My mind is cut loose.

Aargh! Cristate envy! Wonder if the normal-looking ones will do some funky stuff later on? “There is a way of manipulating matter and energy so as to produce what modern scientists call 'a field of force'.

Terscheckii in the background. Bridgesii in the foreground (and far background if you can spot it). Each species has its own coloration and character. IT WAS ALL A DREAM

I’ve never seen Bridgesii like that Grey Fox. They are amazing!

Thanks Antichode! That Bridgesii has a unique look to it. It grows skinnier and bluer than my other Bridgesii, and the ribs and spines are somewhat unusual. I found the original one several years back at a huge cactus wholesale lot. It was unlabelled and mixed in randomly with some non-Trichocereus cacti. I've been calling it Papa Smurf. Its a good one. In fact, I recently planted some more.  IT WAS ALL A DREAM

One painful day I'll have to cut my bridgesii specimens, lest they swoop down and attack me... will they ever flower before then? My cactus bench will get some wheels by autumn, to facilitate transfer into their winter abode.
Antichode's rather splendid raised bed has set my garden design juices racing as well.
Well, here's the goods - some tall ones, some small ones, pup action and a peyote flower. I think I’ve only just appreciated all of your different cuttings! Some of Your bridgesii are very similar to Grey Foxes. Lovely! Lovely 🥰
