White to move and draw

This one is surprisingly similar to Gorgievs version of the Adamson endgame. One of the subtleties added is the black king forced to delay the promotion of his own f-pawn for one move, enabling white to reach the safe 8th row.

As a study this one is somewhat superior to the forementioned Adamson/Gorgiev pair but so it should be with one extra pawn in the diagram!
