White's choices are very limited. 1.f7 seems the only first move, but how to stop the c pawn from advancing?

Nick, Are you going to clear this up? f7 is the only possible start. Then Black has Bd2 forcing Bxd2 Nxd2. White can try 3 Kd7 hoping for c4? 4.Ke6! c3 5. g7+ Kxg7 6.Ke7 winning, but 3...Ne4 seems to hold, threatening at least to draw with Ne4-g5xf7, for example after Kxc6. So White might try 4.Ke6 Ng5+ 5.Kf6 but then Ne4+. Is there really a win?
