1500 Icelandic krónur (about $15 US) per-person use fee is required to climb at Hnappavellir and get the access code to Tóftin Hut. Please do this before going to Hnappavellir. The fee can be paid at the Klifurhúsið climbing gym at Ármúli 23 in Reykjavík, at the Booking Booth/Kaffi Vatnajökull at Fagurhólsmýri (5 minutes drive from Hnappavellir) or by direct bank transfer. Bring your receipt with you to the gym or Booking Booth. Funds go to the Icelandic Bolting Fund.

Description
Starts at the right-hand side of the column that is right of the obvious, pronounced roof behind the hut. Crosses up towards the left.
A fall before the third bolt is clipped is quite likely to result in an injury. Down low, you'll deck onto jagged rocks (if you fall before the ledge). Higher up, you'll come down hard on the ledge (if you've climbed above it). Hence the PG-13 that I gave it, but I know it's debatable. Check it out and come back with your suggestions on it.
Some folks love this route; some dislike it a lot. Check it out and decide for yourself.
