    This is easy, but even if it weren’t, I would look at the line starting with h4+ before moving on to any other possibility, and, after that, almost every move is forced for both sides:

    1. h4 Kf5 (only move)
    2. g4 Kf4 (again, only move)
    3 Rf6

    Easy to find this move- really, what else would you play here even if you didn’t see it was mate in one more move?

    3. …..Rf5 (one last only move)
    4. Rf5#

    h4+! then g4+! will trap and mate the black king.

    White is down on material and black threatens to win quickly with Re1+ Kg2 Rxf2+ etc. The white rook is attacked, too. So, there is no hope for white if he cannot mate, and, luckily, there is a way to do that:
    1. h4+ Kf5
    2. g4+ Kf4
    3. Rf6+ Rf5
    4. Rxf5#

    Relatively quite simple.Because of precarious white king position all moves must be checks.
    1 h4+ Kf5
    2 g4+ Kf4
    3 Rf6+ Rf5
    4 Rxf5#
