After Kd5 d3, Bb3 d2, Ke6 d1, Bxd1 Kxd1, Kxf6 Ke2, black goes to capture the g4 pawn in time, and although white queens the h pawn first, he can't make progress with black's pawn on g2.
It's a draw.

It looks kind of drawish to me at first glance. I don't see how white or black can make any advantage, unless of course someone plays something they shouldn't play.

But heck what do I know, I have lost over 1200 games. 😉 !

Yes, I think you're right. I didn't play it through that far. Black still has the bishop supporting g1, which makes the difference.
