Since the rook has secure support-points at
f5 and h5, there is no way through.

White cannot win this position despite his
two extra pawns. All Black has to do to draw is
to oscillate with the king between g8 and h8.
The white king cannot progress further than h6
and a breakthrough on the queenside is not possible.
