At first I'm thinking, easy win for white because as the h pawn is rushed down the board black can't stay in it's square after:
h5 Ke6 h6 Kf6 f5
and black is in zugzwang.
We have to check out black's resources too though, so what if black tries to queen?
h5 Kc4 h6 a1=Q+ Kxa1 Kc3 h7
And black is too slow.
Trying to help the f pawn is slower, and I don't see a stalemate setup for black -- seems like white to move is +/- while black to move is of course -/+

Looks like an obvious loss ? The king can't block the 2 pawns (the one protecting the other one)
Whit wins
h5 Ke6
h6 Kf6
f5!
and the king can't advance toward the h pawn.
