Is this a win or draw for white?

White is one move away from queening, but his way is blocked by the black rook. Additionally, the black rook can sacrifice itself for the pawn after it promotes and to allow the king to get the pawn on h2. So, is this drawn, won, or...what?

White is winning. There are other ways to win. But White can win like this.

I input that position in an endgame database, and the computer says it's drawn.

I prefer promoting the pawn to a queen, who does that king of stuff anyway?! LOL

If black promotes the pawn to a queen, white can checkmate him..
