@Csteele4 isn't T. atrax supposed to have smaller flowers, a blackish column apex and mop-like trichomes? These flowers seem quite large, have a yellow column apex and toothbrush-like trichomes which is more consistent with T. megcalyptra/alpina.

Column looks like T.megacalyptra to me. I'd be happy just to call this thing to blurry though.
