Time to resign?

Would you like to try it? I can set the position with you as black, and we can play it out.

White's last pawn looks threatening, but surely black can stop it, and the black pawns appear untouchable. Perhaps white should resign?

White to move

[fen]8/6p1/k1P2p1p/7K/8/8/8/8 w - - 0 1[/fen]

What happens on 1...h5?

2.Kxh5 and black wins the white pawn and the game.

White can't get close enough to support his own pawn either.

Nevermind, I got it. 1...h5 2.Kxg7 and draw. I guess the 2 puzzles are related.
