-He walked into the crowd and ___, eager to see the impressive posture and manner of the president.
What verb should I use to refer to the act of heels off ground, like tiptoe, but not tiptoe, when one is eager to see something but the sight is blocked by some people?
Thank you.

I would say 'stood on tiptoe'. I suppose you could say eg stretched up as tall as he could.
